Not setting financial targets? Think again!

Nordea Corporate Insights

Is it tempting not to promise anything, not having to worry about being held accountable for any disappointments from your company? Think again. Investors want public companies to have financial targets, and 85% of them already do. And more importantly, our analysis in the Nordea On Your Mind report “Financial targets” shows a strong share price outperformance for companies who use targets and deliver on them. In this podcast, John Grant talks to Johan Trocmé, Viktor Sonebäck and Ebba Ramel about how using targets matters for corporate value creation.
