Listing standards are set out in the Nasdaq Stockholm Rule Book for Issuers.

Stockholm at a glance:

Historically the Stockholm Stock Exchange, now operating under the Nasdaq Nordic platform. Sweden has one of the deepest household-investor bases in Europe, with corresponding free-float characteristics in large-cap names.

On Nasdaq Stockholm specifically, eligibility turns on where the name sits across the market’s segments. OMXS30 constituents and the broader Large Cap tier carry the free float and daily turnover — underpinned by one of the deepest household-investor bases in Europe — that support a higher loan-to-value; Mid Cap, Small Cap and First North Growth Market lines are financed more selectively. Short-selling operates under the EU Short Selling Regulation, where a net short position of 0.5% of issued share capital is publicly disclosed via Finansinspektionen — a useful read on which lines the market itself actively borrows and treats as liquid.

The principal regulatory reference on Stockholm is Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act.
