Tokmanni - House of Opportunities?

Can it be found out somewhere what the interest rate for that loan will be?

Let’s add this announcement from yesterday about a new store opening: Halpakauppaketju Tokmannin myymĂ€lĂ€verkosto kasvaa Uudellamaalla – Uusi Tokmanni-myymĂ€lĂ€ avaa ovensa Tuusulan Jokelassa | Tokmanni Group Corporation

Tokmanni discount store chain opens its store for the first time in Jokela, Tuusula, on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 9 AM. Tuusula’s second Tokmanni store is comfortable and offers a diverse product selection, in line with customer wishes. As is customary for Tokmanni, the store opening offers both plenty of opening deals and surprise buckets containing product gifts.

One could imagine that Tokmanni will inform @roope6 about this once the terms have been agreed upon, as it involves a restructuring of loans.

The CEO is buying, even though he will soon step aside for a new one.

The CEO is likely quite aware of how sales have progressed at the end of the year and, based on that, considers the stock affordable and a good investment. With even the CFO having just made large purchases, things have developed very well at Tokmanni.

Management and owner purchases are always encouraging, absolutely :+1:

Then there’s the other thought, that Saastamoinen & Co. have steadily increased their holdings even before the share price collapses. Because of this, I don’t fully trust that Tokmanni’s management and owners understand much about the stock’s valuation and behavior, considering how much of a loss the gentlemen have made on Tokmanni’s stock. On the other hand, they seem to have at least some belief that the guidance for revenue and profit will be met (since they are buying up the stock), which is a great thing :+1:

Tokmanni always warns when Q4 is snowless in Southern Finland and the arrival of winter “is delayed.” That’s what will happen this time too.

And again in early spring, we’ll get to sell Asian winter junk with big discounts to people who chase after deals.

Perhaps everything is different this time?

Has every Q4 been blamed on bad weather since the IPO? Lately, yes.

What department store or shop generally wouldn’t sell products from different seasons, e.g., Christmas/winter season products, at a steep discount after the season? That’s how retail works.

If forum members haven’t listened yet, Jari Simolin and Arhi Kivilahde provide a very commendable analysis of Tokmanni’s situation for about 25 minutes (19:45 →). The same themes that I raised as a risk for Tokmanni half a year ago.

These 7 challenges are still unresolved.
