Mindre selskaber bliver presset mod betalt analytikerdækning

Mindre og mellemstore danske selskaber vil få mindre analysedækning fra bankerne, efter MiFID II-reglerne trådte i kraft. Betalt dækning kan være et alternativ, men det er ikke uden problemer, lyder det.

Af Erik Holm
Det er knap ni måneder siden, at EU’s nye, strammere MiFID II-regler trådte i kraft og blandt andet lukkede for aktieanalyser betalt gennem kurtagen. Konsekvensen er, at mindre og mellemstore danske aktieselskaber kan forvente yderligere faldende interesse fra bankerne, hvilket blandt andet en rapport fra Nordea advarede om i maj.
