Companies from all Nordic countries have outperformed global peers during the crisis brought on by the pandemic, but not equally. Our analysis reveals that Finnish companies systematically underperform their Nordic peers in all industries except energy.
In this article, we assess the efficacy of these approaches, relying upon an in-depth analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on Total Shareholder Returns (TSR). We identify global industry patterns and evaluate how Nordic companies perform compared to their industry peers and share five steps that are necessary for companies to come out stronger.
