Lindex Group operates in the retail sector. The Group manages a number of stores in major shopping centres and large commercial premises located throughout the Nordic market. The Group is a retailer of several brands and the range consists of clothing, shoes and related accessories. The company has its headquarters in Helsinki.

It might be wishful thinking again, but I’ve been casually following Lindex’s online store from time to time. Among their best-selling products are full-price pajamas that seem to be selling like hotcakes, as well as Female Engineering’s underwear (these are, in my opinion, an important product/brand because they are something more than traditional competition with H&M and others. Big potential in Femtech). Regarding Stockmann, there’s news that Finns’ Christmas gift budget has grown from last year, after all, Finns have money sitting in their accounts. With these feelings, I’m holding onto my shares for now, even though, frankly, I don’t expect much from the strategic assessment.

Talouselämä – 15 Nov 25              Osta ja pidä -strategiassa täytyy myös myydä osakkeita – Kim Lindström:...    Sijoittajille suositellaan osta ja pidä -strategiaa. Konkarisijoittaja Kim Lindström ja pankkien asiantuntijat kertovat, missä tilanteissa strategiaa noudattavien kannattaa harkita osakkeiden myyntiä.                             Quote from Kauppalehti headline. The article mentions Lindex and Stokmann department stores. From the text: “Lindex will leave the portfolio as soon as the department store side is resolved.” Many investors probably think the same. Will there then be buyers for Lindex shares, which are presumably more expensive? I, and apparently many other investors, are waiting for Stokmann’s solution and a rise in the share price. Will many shares be put up for sale? Is the situation then “oversold or overbought”? Will the “multiples calculated solely on Lindex’s earnings” materialize? Or does the change/realization require Lindex to be listed on the Swedish stock exchange? The waiting time is long, in this case as well.

I agree with you, of course. I was mostly thinking about the perception of the companies from my perspective, that Nelly was viewed by consumers in a completely different way than they are today, so they have really managed to create a different consumer trust than before, something that Lindex might also be able to do and benefit from.

I have the impression that Lindex has that reputation you described in Finland as well. I don’t think Lindex itself is perhaps aiming for a very big change, but now that the strategic review is complete and the restructuring is out of the way, Lindex could, if it wished, invest in growth. I have mentioned this earlier in this thread, but let’s repeat Susanne’s comment about Lindex from 2019: “We have big goals for our future growth. We focus on growing both through our current business and by seeking new growth opportunities. China, among others, is a very interesting market where we see good opportunities and we intend to make Lindex’s online store available, says Susanne Ehnbåge.” Everyone knows what has happened since 2019, and several exceptional situations have shaped the strategy and measures. A lot can change in this regard in the near future. From Lindex’s history, it can be stated that growth and innovation are in the company’s DNA. P.S. Lindex and Nelly are very different companies. Nelly suffers at least clearly more from returns (online) and especially in the German market.

In Sweden, there has been a lot of talk about companies that have successfully made the transition that Lindex might want to make? I’m thinking of Nelly, New Wave, etc., but it might be tough to compare with the journey Nelly has managed to make. This morning I listened to a podcast in Sweden (Market Markers) that talked about Nelly in an interesting way and explained how hard they have worked to reduce the return rate, minimize wasted time in the warehouse, etc. It opened my eyes to how retail companies can improve their operations and thereby strengthen their results. Lindex has also been mentioned in various podcasts, where much of the focus has been on everything surrounding Stockmann, of course, but also on the fact that Lindex’s reputation in Sweden is changing. There’s more talk about Lindex being seen more for quality than quantity, and perhaps that previously many consumers chased the best price rather than the best product. This is, of course, a difficult thing to measure, but it’s something that has been discussed, at least here in Sweden and in Swedish podcasts. My partner (27 years old) thinks that Lindex has improved and that her view of the products has changed drastically from what she thought when she was younger. This might not be so strange (other brands have a higher focus on younger ages), but it’s still a bit fun to mention.

Actually, regarding Lindex/Stockmann, IFRS 16 works a bit differently than with NoHo, due to the specific nuances of sale&leasebacks, which I explained when the coverage started  But nowadays, the outcome is the same as with NoHo, meaning the income statement shows more rental expenses than in the cash flow, which is actually the opposite of what I understood when the coverage started. These can be found in the annual report, if you know what/where to look:   So, if I interpret correctly, 77.4 + 40.4 = 118 MEUR in the income statement and a cash flow impact of 110 MEUR last year. An additional nuance to this is that in the sale of the Helsinki property to Keva, 9 MEUR of the purchase price was paid by accounting for it in the “next few years’” rent. So this could reduce the cash flow impact by a million or two.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">Development of the Swedish clothing market (y-o-y)</h3>
<img src="https://content.inderes.se/assets/ddf7c510-3276-49c7-a953-520e8c73b30e?width=332&amp;height=246" alt="Ruotsin Vaatemarkkina Kes&#xe4;kuu 2025">
The June figures for the Swedish clothing market were published this morning. According to Svensk Handel, sales were up by as much as 10% from last year. We believe the strong development was supported by a weak comparison figure and the shift in summer season sales from May to June. Apparently, summer sales campaigns have also boosted sales. With a strong June, Q2 performance ended slightly positive, and the full year-to-date performance was just under 2% positive.&#xa0;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Sweden accounts for more than half of the Lindex chain&#x2019;s sales</h2>
Sweden is Lindex&apos;s largest market and accounts for more than half of the sales of the Lindex chain (but not the whole group which is also called Lindex). Our Q2&apos;25 revenue forecast for the Lindex segment is roughly flat year-on-year in local currencies. With the strong growth in June, this is roughly in line with the Q2 Swedish market development, and we therefore see no need for forecast revisions. The development of SEK and NOK, which together account for around 70% of the Lindex segment&#x2019;s sales, also affects the company&#x2019;s figures. In our forecasts, the currency effect will turn positive in Q2&#x2019;25 for the first time in a long time, driven by the strengthening of the Swedish krona. For the Group as a whole, Lindex has guided for 0-4% growth in local currencies this year.
