Two Scandinavian blue chips are drawing significant insider buying this week. Industrivärden AB filed on July 28 that it bought 1.3 million shares of VOLV B (AB Volvo) for a combined $48.2 million. All trades occurred on July 27 at around SEK 360 per share. Industrivärden sits on Volvo's board as an investment company, making this a highly deliberate statement of confidence.
Just days earlier, Swedish bank SHB A (Svenska Handelsbanken) attracted over $93 million in fresh insider buying. Industrivärden and Deputy Chairman Lars Fredrik Lundberg both piled in between July 16–21, buying millions of shares at roughly SEK 139–141. That level of coordinated buying from board-linked investors is rare and pointed.
On the sell side, AVGO (Broadcom) Chief Legal Officer Mark Brazeal filed three separate sales totalling nearly $29.2 million between late June and mid-July, offloading 75,000 shares at prices between $387 and $401. That's a steady, structured exit near record highs.
The contrast is clear. Nordic insiders are adding aggressively. At Broadcom, the top lawyer is quietly cashing out.
