Market Cap: €1.08B
Metsä Board Oyj, with a market cap of €1.08 billion, operates in the folding boxboard and market pulp sectors. Despite being unprofitable with increasing losses over the past five years, its short-term assets exceed liabilities, indicating financial resilience. Recent earnings showed declining sales and a net loss for the third quarter of 2025. However, strategic moves like a €250 million revolving credit facility linked to sustainability targets and a €60 million modernization project at its Simpele mill highlight efforts towards operational efficiency and environmental goals. The management team is relatively new but supported by an experienced board of directors.

Operations: The company generates NOK45.17 million in revenue from its fingerprint sensor technology segment.
Market Cap: NOK419.51M
NEXT Biometrics Group ASA, with a market cap of NOK419.51 million, faces challenges as it remains unprofitable despite generating NOK45.17 million in revenue from its fingerprint sensor technology segment. The company recently completed a NOK20 million follow-on equity offering to bolster its cash runway, which was previously estimated at 3-4 months based on free cash flow. NEXT’s short-term assets significantly exceed both short and long-term liabilities, providing some financial stability. A recent large-scale order for their FAP 30 ‘Granite’ sensor indicates potential growth opportunities in government ID programs across Africa and Latin America.

hGears AG, with a market cap of €20.59 million, is navigating the penny stock landscape despite its current unprofitability and high volatility.

Its debt situation has improved significantly over five years, with a net debt to equity ratio now at 14.6%. While hGears has reaffirmed revenue guidance between €80-90 million for 2025, it remains challenged by profitability forecasts and volatile share price movements.
