Jussi Halme has made a video about Nokian Panimo’s listing.
Nokian Panimo is listing on the Helsinki Stock Exchange’s First North marketplace with the ticker symbol BEER, but is this stock an opportunity or a beer trap? I go through Nokian Panimo’s history, business operations, growth plans, and profitability challenges. Its microbrewery status brings tax benefits, but can it restrict the company’s growth in the long run? What are the investor’s risks and opportunities? Watch the video and decide for yourself whether Nokian Panimo is an interesting listing or a case to be skipped!
Nokian Brewery’s offering also clearly went through.
Regarding the public offering
The public offering was oversubscribed many times over, and subscription commitments made in the Public Offering are accepted in full up to 200 Offered Shares, and for amounts exceeding 300 shares, approximately 15 percent of the given subscription commitments.
There was nothing left for the underwriter to guarantee
Due to oversubscription, no New Shares were allocated to the Company’s largest shareholder, Oy Scripo Ab, as Oy Scripo Ab had committed to subscribe for Offered Shares in the Listing Offering only on the condition and only to the extent that the Offered Shares would not otherwise have been subscribed for in the Listing Offering.
After a moment of morning wandering, Nokia Brewery is in a pleasant “rising buzz.” The morning scattered the quick pint-lifters from the market, and the beer maturers remained to brood over their brews.
Laitila’s bottom line was very good, historically speaking. Dividends are also distributed from an overflowing cash reserve at Privanet prices, approximately 4 - 7%. The financial statement data is still missing, regarding how the result was achieved. But could it be that with these figures, it’s suitable to prepare for a listing with a reasonable valuation? If not, it would be a disappointment for the owners.
Birgitta Lindholm: Follows. The current market situation is challenging for new listings.
Hannu Angervuo: Not interested. Suitable for Tampere-based beer-loving small investors. A small offering will result in low share turnover. This won’t create any Olvi phenomenon.
Jarkko Aho: Watches from the sidelines. Among Nokia-based companies, I’d rather own Renkaat, but I welcome this stock market newcomer to the list as well.
However, I bought some shares now for my portfolio “for the love of the game”, even though this investment case doesn’t seem to be among the most profitable. But as an owner, Keisari tastes even better. In a summer dip or similar, I might buy a bit more.
“Jokitie is a member of the company’s management team until August 31, 2025, after which he will step down from his role in the management team and move to a warehouse worker position.”
The @Pohjolan_Eka, who phenomenally sees the future of the stock market, already welcomed Nokian Panimo to the stock market a year in advance in the investment meme thread with this screenshot:
Delving further into history, this factory tour by NP’s previous CEO was quite an interesting video from five years ago:
Thinking about the video quality, I started wondering if it was filmed with the universe’s first mobile phone camera or a razor. But let’s not let that bother us.
Yesterday, I added a small extra batch of shares to my portfolio. I was encouraged by a claim heard from my household that the company’s sodas are particularly good. I also compared the prices of the products in different retail chains, and the pricing, especially in the S-Group, seems to be very consumer-friendly.
Based on this news, one could say that the IPO was underwhelming.
New Beer as a Thank You to Investors - Nokian Panimo Plc Launches IPO Beer to Celebrate Successful Listing
Nokian Panimo celebrates its successful listing by launching a limited and numbered batch of 10,000 cans of Keisari IPO beer. Keisari IPO is named after Nokian Panimo Plc’s initial public offering. IPO stands for “Initial Public Offering”, meaning a share issue. The IPO beer is a golden-pale, 4.5 percent full-malt lager that combines the purity of traditional pale beer with sparkling freshness. Its light malty taste and subtle hopping make it an approachable and high-quality pleasure beer.
The IPO beer is a tribute to all our investors – and an invitation to those who want to get to know our brewery. If investing in Nokian Panimo interests you, this beer is an excellent first step to get acquainted with our operations – starting with the taste.

Now that I can’t bring myself to buy any more shares, I headed to the company’s store for some shopping. Next, I’ll start the company analysis by going through all the company’s beers and sodas. Note! Not in one day.
The store wasn’t crowded at this time of day. Customer service was friendly and product placement was clear.
The IPO beer was already available from both the factory store and Nokia Citymarket.
A brief CEO interview on the Stock Exchange Foundation’s website:
I would have been interested in questions such as why not a single one of Nokian Panimo’s alcoholic products is available in Alko’s selection, when the sparkling waters will be launched on the market, and how the revenue growth of recent years is distributed by buyer groups. Especially the development of the share of the restaurant and similar sector in total sales would be interesting.
