Veidekke acquires tunnel construction contract for Gothenburg's West Link Project
Veidekke has received a contract from the Swedish Transport Administration to build the Stora Hamnkanalen tunnel, a component of the West Link Project in central Gothenburg. With an initial contract value of Skr280m ($29.3m), the project involves the creation of a tunnel comprising both concrete and rock sections, measuring approximately 54m and 16m in length, respectively. This tunnel will traverse the Stora Hamnkanalen near its outlet into the Göta älv. The commencement of the project is immediate, with an anticipated completion date set for mid-2029. The Stora Hamnkanalen tunnel represents the final construction contract within the Haga stage of the West Link Project, which aims to establish a strong commuter and regional railway network for the city of Gothenburg. Veidekke has also received a commission from OBOS, a Nordic cooperative building association, for the rehabilitation of its former head office at Hammersborg Torg in Oslo, Norway. This turnkey contract is valued at around Nkr300m, excluding VAT. With OBOS having recently relocated to Construction City at Ulven, the collaboration with Veidekke will focus on upgrading the old head office to align with contemporary standards and the expectations of new tenants. The renovation project encompasses an interior overhaul of around 17,500m² of office space, spread across two buildings of 12 and four floors, a reception building, and shared basements on three levels. The refurbished premises will feature reduced energy consumption, new technical installations, modern office spaces, meeting rooms, a canteen, a training room, and changing facilities. Furthermore, the existing underground parking garage will be rehabilitated while new bicycle parking facilities will be introduced. With construction work starting immediately, the handover of the renovated premises is scheduled for the second and third quarters of 2026. Veidekke's recent projects also include the construction of the multipurpose Bjarg Arena in Bergen, Norway, for the Bjarg Sports Club.

Germany and allies to send major military aid package to Ukraine using new NATO supply line
BERLIN (AP) — Germany announced on Wednesday that it will work with a group of Ukraine's Western backers to supply a package of military aid to the war-ravaged country worth up to $500 million using a new NATO supply line. Earlier this month, NATO started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine after the Netherlands said that it would provide air defense equipment, ammunition and other military aid worth 500 million euros ($582 million). Sweden announced the following day that it would contribute $275 million to a joint effort along with its Nordic neighbors Denmark and Norway to provide $500 million worth of air defenses, anti-tank weapons, ammunition and spare parts. Germany's foreign and defense ministries said the support is focused on equipment like 'critical air defense capabilities. These are urgently needed to defend against Russia's ongoing air strikes, which are killing more and more civilians throughout Ukraine.' The United Nations has said that Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians. Two deliveries of equipment, most of it bought in the United States, were scheduled for this month, although the Nordic package was more likely to arrive in September. Germany did not name the group of countries it would be working with. The equipment is supplied based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. NATO allies then locate the weapons and ammunition and send them on. Germany has delivered or pledged military support to Ukraine worth around 40 billion euros ($47 billion) since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Nordic Semiconductor shares hit two-year high on strong results and Q3 guidance
By Jesus Calero (Reuters) -Norwegian chipmaker Nordic Semiconductor on Wednesday reported consensus-beating second-quarter results and gave a revenue guidance above market expectations for the third quarter, citing stronger demand from major customers and momentum in its new nRF54 product platform. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT The company's bullish Q3 revenue guidance of $165 million to $185 million comes amid optimism in its end markets. It supplies Bluetooth and cellular IoT components for devices from PC accessories to industrial asset trackers. Logitech recently reported better than expected demand for computer peripherals from both consumer and industrial customers. This reads as a sign of recovery in the semiconductor market after last year's inventory glut. MARKET REACTION Nordic Semiconductor's shares rose around 14% in early trading, taking their 2025 gains to 57.8% and touching their highest price in more than two years. CONTEXT Nordic Semiconductor's short-range wireless business, including the flagship nRF52 and nRF53 series, remains its main revenue driver, while newer nRF54 products are being rolled out to more customers. The company said the nRF54 series would only trickle into 2025 sales, before kicking growth into higher gear next year. BY THE NUMBERS It reported revenue of $164 million and core earnings (EBITDA) of $21 million for the second quarter, topping average forecasts of $158.9 million and $15.8 million, respectively, from analysts polled by LSEG. The company is targeting average annual growth above 20% in this decade, seeing the nRF54 platform as a key long-term growth engine. The management said that ongoing trade tensions had not impacted the company's half-year performance, but they remain a risk factor going forward. Sign in to access your portfolio
