We are currently seeing a short-term restraint in the market linked to excessively high inventory levels in certain customer segments. We anticipate that the market will gradually strengthen and expect to continue our strong growth in the future. Therefore, we have chosen to update and clarify our financial targets going forward<\/em>\", says Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO and President.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE has invited to a capital market day today, Tuesday, December 12th at 13:00 via Financial Hearings at Inderes Studio, V\u00e4stra Tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsgatan 19 in Stockholm.
