Finland‑based nuclear technology group Steady Energy made its market debut on Nasdaq Helsinki’s First North segment, opening at the €10 price set in the prospectus but slipping 6% by the close of trading.
IPO pricing and subscription
The company priced its initial public offering at €10 per share, a level that matched the lower bound of the indicated range. Investor demand was modest, with the offering being oversubscribed by only a small margin, according to the underwriting banks.

Shares fell 6% after opening, reflecting cautious sentiment among investors despite the oversubscription. Analysts noted that the modest demand signaled a measured appetite for nuclear‑technology stocks amid broader market volatility.
Future outlook
Steady Energy plans to use the proceeds to expand its reactor design services and to fund research into next‑generation nuclear solutions. The firm expects its pipeline of projects in Europe and Asia to drive revenue growth over the next few years.
- Expand reactor design capabilities

We are pleased with the successful completion of the offering and remain confident in our long‑term growth strategy, said CEO Jari Lehtinen.
