What Stockpicker does

Stockpicker AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held Swedish financial analysis company founded in 1997 that distributes independent stock, fund and market commentary to Swedish retail investors and active traders through five email-delivered newsletters. The product set comprises the flagship Stockpicker Newsletter (twice-weekly analyses plus a model portfolio tracked since 1997, reported to have returned more than 20,000%), the Swing Trader short-term signals product (launched 2004, now also delivered via a Discord community), Fund Timer (monthly fund selection), Trade Alerts (post-close technical signals), and the free Market Update daily brief, which functions as the freemium top-of-funnel. A monthly Focus List of eight trading positions is produced in collaboration with Societe Generale and is executable through Societe Generale ETPs on Swedish brokers Avanza and Nordnet.

The business operates entirely digitally with no disclosed mobile app, API, or SaaS platform; distribution is via email, the stockpicker.se website, and social channels. Revenue is generated through three streams: paid newsletter subscriptions priced on tiered annual terms (Swing Trader at 1,990-4,390 SEK, with other products similarly subscription-based), freemium conversion of the ~50,000-recipient email list, and B2B corporate advertising and investor-relations services sold to listed companies and financial institutions across automotive, banking, asset management, and pharma (disclosed advertiser logos include BMW, BNP Paribas, Carnegie, AMF, Societe Generale, Nordnet, ABG, Vontobel, Fisher Investments, Cliens, Dicot, Freemelt, and Dagens Industri). The firm is Sweden-domiciled only, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with a small team led by analysts and sales/BD executives with prior capital-markets experience at Nordic brokers and Nasdaq Helsinki.

Broad incumbents
