Bittium Corporation's ICB Industry Classification Changes with the Strong Growth of the Defense & Security Business
Bittium Corporation press release on March 19, 2026 at 12:45 pm (CET+1)
The Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) classification for Bittium Corporation changes. The change will be valid in the Nasdaq Helsinki's INET trading system as from March 23, 2026. The company's new industry is Industrials, subsector Defense. Bittium was previously classified under the Technology industry, subsector Software. The new industry classification enables Bittium to be included in defense industry indices and the ETFs and other funds tracking them. The ICB industry classification system is widely applied across international equity markets, including the Helsinki Stock Exchange (Nasdaq OMX).
The change is driven by the strong development of Bittium's Defense & Security business in the growing defense market. In 2025, Defense & Security Business Segment accounted for over 70% of Bittium's net sales. The change in industry classification does not affect the company's long-term strategy in Medical and Engineering Business Segments, and Bittium will continue to pursue profitable growth across all three of its business segments.
Bittium Corporation's new ICB classification:
- Industry: 50 Industrials
- Supersector: 5020 Industrial Goods and Services
- Sector: 502010 Aerospace and Defense
- Subsector: 50201020 Defense
The ISIN code (FI0009007264) and Ticker (BITTI) remain unchanged.
