Saab stock drops after earnings beat and raised growth target as investors weigh what’s next

Saab shares fell 3.1% Thursday despite reporting record Q4 order bookings of SEK 100.1 billion and raising its 2023–27 sales growth target to 22% annually. Operating profit jumped 67% to SEK 3.26 billion, and the board proposed a higher dividend. Investors focused on execution risks and the lack of detailed 2026 guidance.

  • Shanghai Stock Exchange Eases IPO Rules for Unprofitable AI Start-ups
    June 18, 2026, 12:02 AM EDT. The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) has relaxed initial public offering (IPO) rules for unprofitable artificial intelligence (AI) and large language model (LLM) developers on its Star Market. Firms must have an expected market capitalization of at least 4 billion yuan ($591 million) and meet criteria related to market potential and commercialization. The SSE aims to support "high-quality" AI companies not yet generating significant revenue but with at least one large-scale LLM product and clear commercialization plans. This change comes as global competition intensifies, especially with U.S. AI labs. The SSE also updated rules to encourage listings in quantum technology, biomedicine, hydrogen, nuclear fusion, brain-computer interfaces, robotics, and 6G communications. These reforms seek to enhance China's scientific self-reliance and technological strength.
