ABG Sundal Collier Holds Revenues Steady Amid Volatile Markets and Integration Costs

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

ABG Sundal Collier ( (ABGSF) ) has issued an update.

ABG Sundal Collier reported first-quarter revenues of NOK 414 million, broadly flat year-on-year, with diluted earnings per share of NOK 0.08 as volatile markets and geopolitical uncertainty dampened transaction activity and extended deal timelines. Secondary trading and debt capital markets underpinned performance, while equities capital markets and debt issuance were held back by investor caution, even as the firm completed one Norwegian IPO and several DCM transactions, with M&A remaining stable in a seasonally softer period.

The brokerage and research operations delivered robust results, highlighting the resilience of ABG Sundal Collier’s diversified business model in an environment of weaker primary market activity. Costs rose due to the integration of Danish advisory firm FIH Partners and other one-off factors, which management stressed are not indicative of underlying run-rate, and the company expects the expanded platform and strengthened Danish franchise to position it well to benefit when market conditions normalise and transaction activity recovers.
