Since the start of the year, IPOs totaling $6.8 billion have been announced in Stockholm.

This week, the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange will see the biggest European IPO since 2022, when German car manufacturer Porsche AG went public. Swedish security firm Verisure is looking to raise over €3 billion ($3.6 billion), with trading scheduled to start on October 8.

Globally, Stockholm holds fifth place for listings in 2025, trailing the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong, and India—a notable feat for a market with a size three times smaller than London's.

Even with the recent rise in listings in other parts of the continent, Sweden remains far ahead. Nine firms have listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange this year, the highest count since 2022. Five of Europe's ten largest IPOs this year occurred in Stockholm.

The value of announced IPOs in Spain and Germany is $1.3 billion each, while in Switzerland it is $1.2 billion. Turkey follows with $653 million, Poland with $488 million, and the United Kingdom with $426 million.
