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.

What will Lindex announce at the end of the year?    Stockmann will be listed on the stock exchange Stockmann will be sold to party X Stockmann will remain within the group and its independence will be increased Stockmann will get JC Holding as a shareholder with some distribution ratio/as a strategic partner Strategic assessment will continue until H1 26      0 äänestäjää

Based on my own observation when I visited the food market almost daily for 4 months recently - the number of visitors on the department store side has clearly increased since spring, and on Sundays, people (especially tourists) wait outside for entry before noon. Whether these visitors bring revenue to Stockmann itself is, of course, open to speculation. But the property is certainly not dying, so a buyer for the business can indeed be found.

Lindex expands in Denmark and opens a second store                   about.lindex.com              Lindex expands in Denmark and opens new store in Odense    Lindex is taking the next step in its expansion in the Danish market by opening a new store in Rosengårdscentret in Odense during spring 2026. This establishment is part of the fashion company’s growth journey and long-term strategy to continue its...

Lindex last distributed dividends in 2013. Lindex’s dividend policy is: “The Board of Directors of Lindex Group Plc has set a dividend distribution target of at least half of the profit generated by the core business. However, the financing required for business growth is taken into account in the dividend level.” Now that dividends could not be paid due to the corporate restructuring that began in 2020, the question arises whether dividends will be distributed next spring only from the profit of 2025 or from the profit of the entire 2021-2025 period? EPS will likely accumulate over €1.5 for the entire period. By the way, Lindex advertises in its annual report: “A clear strategy for creating growth.” I’m laughing a belly laugh  “The Group’s Board of Directors decided on September 25, 2023, to initiate a strategic review to increase shareholder value.”

Last year, on December 17th, the deadline for the strategic review was moved to the first half of 2025. In a news item on June 27, 2025, KL reported: “strategic review continues” until the end of the year. On July 18, 2025, in KL, director Susanne said “will be completed by the end of the year”. Well, there’s time until December 17, 2025, if we follow the old pattern. But if it’s postponed again, they could be a bit more forthcoming with information.

Where are Lindex’s strategic solutions? An IPO on the Stockholm Stock Exchange early in the year to boost e-commerce and develop the business. And Stockmann continues in Lindex’s place in Helsinki? Santa Claus is unlikely to bring new solutions or buyers for Stockmann.

Lindex Group

Stockmann’s Annual General Meeting approved the change of the company’s name to Lindex Group last Thursday, and the change came into effect on Friday. In the same context, the company’s trading code on the exchange changes and is LINDEX starting today. The name change has no impact on department store operations nor the Stockmann brand. No news was given on the strategic assessment of department stores in this context.

Translation: Original comment published in Finnish on 3/25/2024 at 6:50 am EET Stockmann’s Annual General Meeting approved the change of the company’s name to Lindex Group last Thursday, and the change came into effect on Friday. In the same context, the company’s trading code on the exchange changes and is LINDEX starting today. The name change has no impact on department store operations nor the Stockmann brand. No news was given on the strategic assessment of department stores in this context. Strategic assessment of department stores continues Stockmann <a href="https://www.inderes.se/en/analyst-comments/stockmann-investigates-strategic-alternatives-department-stores-and-changing-lindex">announced last September</a> that it is planning to change its name to Lindex and that it is exploring strategic alternatives for department store operations. The name has now been changed and the strategic assessment is expected to be completed this year. According to the company, the options include increasing the independence of the Department Stores business within the group, considering possible ownership changes or strategic partnerships, or continuing under the current structure. We believe that one strong option is some sort of arrangement with the company’s main owner, Nordic Retail Holding, based on Konstsamfundet and the Swiss JC Switzerland Holding that became a a big owner at the end of 2022 and who owns, e.g., the Magasin du Nord department store in Copenhagen. We note that the clearest value creation would take place by removing the Department Stores business completely from the group, while other options would not, in our opinion, create value in the same way. In December, we published an <a href="https://www.inderes.se/en/research/stockmann-structural-change-main-topic-next-year">extensive report </a>on Stockmann that is still very relevant.

Stockmann's name changed to Lindex
