Nordea boosts stake in Williams-Sonoma amid mixed Q4 results and dividend hike

Nordea Investment Management increased its holdings in Williams-Sonoma by 10.2% in Q4, owning nearly 1 million shares worth $174 million. Williams-Sonoma reported Q4 earnings per share of $3.04, beating estimates, but revenue fell short and declined year-over-year. The company raised its quarterly dividend by about 15% to $0.76, signaling confidence despite tariff and margin pressures. Insider selling and cautious analyst ratings add complexity to the outlook, though some firms remain bullish on the stock's potential.
