Here are the most important news items from the past two weeks from the unlisted companies on Eqvor's platform. Candela secures its largest European order to date, Airmee delivers profitable growth and Blykalla makes a billion-krona push in the US.
Candela — a giant order in Norway and a change of CEO
Candela has signed an agreement with the Norwegian transport operator Boreal to deliver 20 passenger ferries of the P-12 model. The first delivery is planned for 2027, with the remaining ferries in service by 2030. The order value is estimated at around half a billion kronor.
Order details
| Model | P-12 (electric hydrofoil ferries) |
| Number | 20 ferries |
| Estimated order value | ~500 MSEK |
| First delivery | 2027 |
| Emissions reduction | −80% vs fossil-fuelled vessels |
At the same time, founder Gustav Hasselskog is stepping down as CEO after eleven years and becoming executive chair. Head of strategy Sofia Graflund takes over as CEO on 23 June.
The order is the largest in Norway in terms of the number of electric ferries and marks Candela's breakthrough in European public transport after earlier orders mainly from Asia.
To Candela shares →Airmee — a strong start to 2026
Airmee reports profitable growth in Q1 2026 and is building on the momentum of 2025. The company has signed new partnerships in the pharmacy and fashion segments and expanded its business with existing customers.
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
| Growth | +50% vs Q1 2025 |
| EBITDA | 2 MSEK |
| New partnerships | Pharmacy + fashion |
Airmee is also launching express deliveries in central Stockholm with late drop-off cut-offs and evening distribution from 19:00. Delivery time is said to be as short as three hours from order to door. The company points to a clear increase in demand for faster deliveries, especially same-day options, as the background to the move.
To Airmee shares →Blykalla — a billion-krona push in the US and a new CCO
Blykalla is expanding its partnership with the US nuclear power company Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) and intends to invest SEK 1–2 billion in the collaboration on technology and commercialisation. The company plans to hire 30–40 engineers in the US and open two development hubs. The investment will be financed through an upcoming funding round in 2026.
Key data
| Planned investment | 1–2 MDSEK |
| New engineers (US) | 30–40 |
| Development hubs (US) | 2 planned |
The collaboration initially centres on the development of Oklo's pilot reactor, to which Blykalla contributes technical expertise. CEO Jacob Stedman stresses that the US push does not affect the test facility in Oskarshamn, but may on the contrary speed up the permitting processes in Sweden.
The company has also recruited Emily Bolon as Chief Commercial Officer, with a background at BP, H&M Group and Harvard Business School. In addition, the subsidiary Leadcold has hired Thérèse Burman as Head of Legal, with a background at Mannheimer Swartling and the Swedish Ministry of the Environment and Energy.

To Virtune shares →Stegra — financing delayed
The steel challenger Stegra has repeatedly said it needed Q1 2026 to secure the billion-krona financing required to build the steelworks in Boden. The quarter has now passed without the company presenting any new money. The financing need has grown from the previously communicated SEK 10 billion to as much as 20 billion in later talks with financiers.
Parallel negotiations are under way in which short-term financing needs to be secured first, as the long-term financing is expected to take longer. CFO Otto Gernandt left his role in February. The situation is strained, and the company's lenders have expressed dissatisfaction with the management.
To Stegra shares →Kaunis Iron — preparing a possible listing
Kaunis Holding AB is beginning preparations for a possible future listing. No formal decision has yet been taken, and any listing is expected to take place in the second half of 2026 at the earliest. CEO Klas Dagertun comments: "A listing would strengthen our ability to develop the company over the long term."

The tool analyses video content and automatically creates synchronised soundscapes with music and sound effects. Studio is now integrated into Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.

To Aira shares →Storsala — 200 new homes in Nacka
Storsala plans to develop around 200 homes and 15,000 square metres of above-ground gross floor area (ljus BTA) in Orminge, Nacka. The project is being carried out in collaboration with Derome and comprises five seven-storey buildings, located next to the planned nature reserve at Myrsjön. Possession is planned for when the zoning plan gains legal force, expected in Q2 2026.
To Storsala shares →Yabie — change of CEO
Pedram Tadayon takes office as the new CEO of Yabie with immediate effect. He succeeds Siri Hyltén-Cavallius, who has led the company for the past three years. Tadayon comes from the CEO role at Mitigram and has previously held senior positions in SaaS and payments at Liberis, Nets and American Express. He has sat on Yabie's board for the past year.

Quartr has launched an MCP integration with Claude that gives financial professionals access to the company's IR data directly in the Claude environment, including transcripts, presentations and reports. The company has also published a Financial Data API Evaluation Guide — a vendor-neutral guide to evaluating financial data providers.
To Quartr shares →Eqvor — March top list and the switch to Alpcot
Most traded companies on Eqvor in March 2026:
Koenigsegg in first place, followed by Blykalla, Hasko Invest, Quartr and Kaunis Iron. All five are well-known names — no newcomers at the top.
From 1 April 2026, Eqvor is a tied agent of Alpcot, a Swedish securities firm with just over SEK 10 billion in assets under management. The switch means a move to DVP settlement (Delivery versus Payment), where payment and delivery take place simultaneously — faster and smoother for investors.
