I was reading the Top 3 for 2025 - Helsinki Stock Exchange Risers thread and I thought that optimism certainly hasn’t disappeared from the forum members. There’s also very little analysis based on company operations or fundamentals; for the most part, hopes are based on corrective movements and the “it has to go up next year because it went down this year” mindset.
Personally, I don’t see anything on the horizon but the same cloud mass as now. So, 2025 could be just as much a declining year (or well, a ±0 year) for Hesuli (and a rising year for the US stock market) as this year. I base this on my observation that there are no visible factors improving order growth, geopolitical change, or consumption recovery; instead, the same threats still exist.
I also don’t understand why so many predict the war in Ukraine will end in 2025. There’s no sign of this either. And surely, how and on whose terms the war ends also has some significance for general sentiment? The end of the war also doesn’t remove the threat; on the contrary, in our case, it increases it.
