Norway is developed Europe’s best-performing stock market this year, thanks to surging energy prices. But there’s more attracting investors to Oslo than just oil and gas. The OSE Benchmark Index has rallied 22% in 2026 and is within sight of its April record close. While giants in energy and defense have accelerated that outperformance during the Iran war, away from the main index there have been spectacular gains in areas like biotechnology and tech. Smartoptics Group ASA , for instance, has soared more than 80% this year as part of the global frenzy around photonics and AI infrastructure stocks. Circio Holding ASA , a developer of technology for gene and cell therapy, has surged more than 700% to be the biggest gainer in the Oslo All-Share Index . Hywel Franklin , who co-manages Mirabaud Asset Management’s Discovery Europe ex-UK fund , said higher energy prices naturally support growth in Norway’s economy as well as in some key sectors. But “there are also very innovative areas,” he said in an interview. Franklin’s roughly $322 million fund has returned 31% over the past year, beating 99% of peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The performance has been helped by the fund’s geographical allocation to Norway, which exceeded 13% at the end of April, according to the latest monthly factsheet . His fund holds Smartoptics , which he predicted will benefit from the growing need for interconnection between artificial intelligence data centers. Another Norwegian holding is circuit board producer Kitron ASA , which Franklin said has “good exposure to the growth coming through in defense,” and is up 50% in 2026. In a nod to the important role of oil and gas in the Norwegian market, Franklin also holds geophysical consulting and services firm TGS ASA . Analysts at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. last month initiated coverage on the stock with a buy rating, saying the company is well-placed to benefit from an upswing in oil exploration.

Even after crushing earnings estimates, Target Corporation's (TGT 3.86%) first-quarter 2027 results failed to impress investors. The retailer's shares fell nearly 4% during yesterday's trading session following the earnings release. That raises an obvious question: Is the retail giant's turnaround truly sustainable? To be sure, Target posted net sales of $25.4 billion, up 6.7% year over year, and comparable sales growth of 5.6%, breaking a streak of declining revenue from fiscal 2026. Strong quarter, but is it real growth? At first glance, this looks like customers are returning to shop at Target. However, analysts questioned whether the strong quarter was truly driven by improving fundamentals or was simply the result of external factors. During the earnings call, UBS analyst Michael Lasser pointed out that management's guidance implies a sharp slowdown in comparable sales growth to roughly 1% for the remainder of fiscal 2027. He also questioned whether the first quarter's performance was due to "exogenous variables" -- such as the timing of tax refunds -- rather than sustainable demand. If that proves to be true, then instead of being a long-term turnaround, Target's strong start could fizzle out despite the strong numbers. Earnings beat, but guidance remains conservative Target also delivered a strong earnings surprise for the first quarter. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.71, well above expectations of $1.46. This also represented a 32% increase from adjusted EPS of $1.30 from the prior year. Lasser also flagged the management's conservative guidance for full-year earnings. Despite raising sales growth expectations, Target is only projecting earnings near the high end of its existing $7.50-$8.50 range, suggesting that cost headwinds, ranging from supply chain pressures to elevated inventory shrinkage and energy costs, could significantly limit profit growth. While Target is showing strong operational efficiency, profits may still be more fragile than what...
