Pörssitiedotteet

Pörssitiedotteet are official announcements issued by publicly listed companies to inform investors and the market about information that could influence the price of the company’s securities or investment decisions. The term is used in Finland to describe stock exchange releases published for Nasdaq Helsinki and other Nordic exchanges. Pörssitiedotteet are a key part of market transparency and are regulated by securities laws and the exchange’s rules.

Purpose and scope: They are intended to ensure timely, equal access to material information and to support fair trading. Tiedotteet cover a range of material events and financial information core to investors’ decisions. Typical content includes financial reports (annual and interim), corporate actions (dividends, stock splits, share issues, changes in capital structure), major changes in shareholding or ownership, leadership changes (appointments or departures in management or board), and other significant developments (mergers and acquisitions, disposals, major contracts, litigation, regulatory updates). They may also include notices related to general meetings and voting rights.

Publication and accessibility: Companies publish pörssitiedotteet through the stock exchange’s information service and post them on both the exchange’s website and the issuer’s own site. Tiedotteet are commonly issued in Finnish and Swedish, and increasingly in English. They are time-stamped and archived, providing a public record of material information.

Impact: By issuing pörssitiedotteet, companies contribute to market efficiency and investor protection, enabling informed decision-making and helping maintain trust in the public markets.
