"Turning to Sweden next. The industrial company Atlas Copco gaining today. Why? >> Yeah. So Atlas Copco is a company that makes things like vacuum solutions and compressors. So on the face of it, that doesn't sound super interesting, but it is a major Swedish industrial company and if it is doing well, it tells us a lot about the recovery in the industrial sector and where momentum is actually kind of picking up. Um and so Atlas Copco was just upgraded at Bernstein with analysts saying that earnings had bottomed and that a rebound was on the way. Um and this is something that other analysts have flagged as well previously saying that orders will likely start kind of flowing through again because of manufacturing and construction activity starting to recover. Companies are once again starting to invest in equipment because there is now greater clarity on tariffs. There's more solid demand. um you know just yesterday we had chip makers moving higher because of an expected recovery in industrial end markets. So this is all really part of the same story of companies kind of growing more confident wanting to spend their money and sometimes part of that is that they do need a big industrial compressor and Atlas Copco will be there to provide that."

The commentary highlights Atlas Copco's positive outlook as evidenced by a recent upgrade at Bernstein. The speaker explains that the company is a bellwether for the industrial recovery, with improving earnings and renewed order flow driven by clearer tariffs and solid manufacturing demand.
