And the forestry company SCA – another heavyweight in the index – increased 8.9 percent after a quarterly report.
The construction company NCC reported an unexpectedly strong report, with a significant increase in order intake. The share rose 2.0 percent.
The confectionery manufacturer Cloetta's share increased 8.6 percent, despite CEO Katarina Tell warning of a blow from higher cocoa prices in the fourth quarter.
