The price of oil has also responded very negatively, falling below $ 40 a barrel with a fall of almost three percent.

  • Nel falls 2.3 percent
  • Equinor falls 1.2 percent
  • DNB falls 0.5 percent

Tech group Goodtech is among the few stocks that rose more than 14 percent on Friday. On Thursday, Øystein Stray Spetalen bought 1.6 million shares of the company through Tycoon Industrier.

– I wear a mask when I need it

That’s what Trump said during the presidential debate. You are now infected with corona.

Empty drops after sell recommendation

The brokerage firm Pareto Securities took over the coverage of the mortgage company Tomra with a sell recommendation and a target price of NOK 285 per share.

Tomra’s stock is up 45 percent on the stock exchange this year and the share price stood at NOK 406 ahead of the exchange opening on Friday. Right after the open, Tomra falls about three percent as one of the most traded stocks.

– It reminds us of what happened to Tomra in 2000, and we wonder if we will see the same thing again, analysts write according to TDN Direkt.

In his opinion, there are more attractive “ecological profiles”, and there will be more in the coming years.

– Therefore, we are struggling to justify the huge valuation premium that exists at the moment, writes the brokerage.
