12 Aug 2025 Vend Marketplaces ASA (vormals Schibsted ASA)Vend Marketplaces (formerly Schibsted): 10 million NOK for inside information in analyst call NorwayMarket abuse and insider dealing €840,774

Between 25 and 31 March 2025 the listed operator of online marketplaces held one-to-one calls with 19 analysts ahead of its quiet period ("pre-close calls") and, in a recorded call, said that consensus for the first quarter and the full year 2025 was too high, adding expectations for individual business areas; the analyst then cut their EBITDA estimate and the share price fell by 10% on 26 March. The Finanstilsynet (Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority) treated this as unlawful disclosure of inside information and imposed 10,000,000 NOK; as an aggravating factor it took into account that Vend had not initially handed over its prepared list of talking points. Vend announced that it would accept the fine and has decided to stop holding analyst calls before quiet periods.

What organisations can take from it

Pre-close calls are not a safe space: views on analyst consensus or the current quarter belong, if anywhere, in a stock exchange announcement to everyone.
