하락 영향
- Financials — Avanza's Q3 adjusted EPS of 4.90 SEK and operating profit of 1.28 billion SEK missed market estimates, creating downward pressure on stock prices due to sluggish earnings.

DYAX 전담 분석
Avanza's sluggish earnings and the sharp drop in EV sales in North America and China (-44% and -18%, respectively) act as short-term earnings pressure factors for related companies, increasing downward pressure on stock prices. On the other hand, robust EV sales in the European market provide positive momentum for related companies in the region.
Going forward, the pace of global demand recovery and regional sales trends will be key stock price determinants, and investors should pay attention to monthly sales data in major markets and exchange rate volatility.
