$MILDEF (+11,34 %)
$KOG (+2,04 %)
The MilDef share has corrected sharply in recent weeks. A major insider sale by company director Daniel Ljunggren drove investors out of the Scandinavian second-tier stock, which had previously performed strongly. In the meantime, a technical stabilization is emerging on the chart, underpinned by an order placed last Friday.
MilDef is to supply robust hardware worth 225 million Swedish kronor (equivalent to 20.1 million euros) to Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace. The customer is a long-standing partner and customer of the Swedes. The products that MilDef is supplying to Kongsberg include solutions such as computers, switches, servers and displays for various platforms.
"This is MilDef's largest single order in the Norwegian market and we are honored to be part of an important and cutting-edge defense system manufactured in Norway. This is proof of how Nordic defense companies work together and take responsibility for European defense," says Daniel Ljunggren about the latest order.
Even though the news only hit the stock market ticker last Friday (July 4), the Scandinavian company has included the order from Kongsberg in its order backlog for the second quarter, which ended a few days earlier. MilDef is aiming to deliver the hardware from next year.
