Shares of EQNR.N declined sharply today, hitting a 20-day low as market sentiment turned bearish. The stock's recent downturn may be attributed to the announcement of Jarle Roth's nomination for election to the board of directors, which could signal a shift in corporate governance. Roth, an independent advisor with a strong background in leadership and sustainability, is expected to bring fresh perspectives if elected on December 1, 2025. Additionally, share allocations to primary insiders, including Helge Haugane, under the company's long-term incentive program, have raised concerns about insider trading dynamics, further impacting investor confidence.
