Activity Increased in October
Almost NOK 15 billion worth of shares were bought and sold through DNB’s equity trading last month. Net purchases totaled NOK 189 million.
The drop in Kongsberg’s share price, following weak results and news that the company will be split in two, triggered a buying rush. Towards the end of October, the Kongsberg share alone had NOK 105 million in online acquisitions in one day. The share ended down 18.25 per cent.
In October, we also observed that the trade war between the US and China is causing volatility in cyclical sectors such as seafood, industry, and energy. This creates opportunities for buying and selling. SalMar tops the list of net sold shares, while DNB, Vår Energi, and Kongsberg Gruppen were net purchased. The sale of SalMar shares may be profit-taking after strong returns since summer.
The numbers in the top lists
All numbers are based on trading activity performed in the last month via both DNB’s equity trading service online and in the Spare app. The top lists are sorted either based on the number of transactions (buy and sell), net volume (the total amount bought minus the total amount sold), or gross volume (the total amount bought and sold).
