Swedish heating company Nibe experienced a significant stock market decline on February 25, 2026, after Germany announced it would repeal a controversial heating law. According to reports, Nibe's stock on the Stockholm exchange dropped approximately 12 percent to around 36 kronor following the announcement. The German heating law, originally implemented by the Green Party (De gröna) in 2023, had mandated renewable energy standards for home heating systems.
Conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz had campaigned on repealing the legislation, fulfilling that campaign promise with the recent decision. The market reaction highlights the economic impact of Germany's policy reversal on companies in the renewable heating sector, with Nibe, headquartered in Markaryd, Sweden, being particularly affected.
