** Shares in Electrolux ELUXb.ST dip about 5% after an analysis in local media said the company would be in need of a rights issue

** The analysis, published in Swedish outlet Dagens Industri, says Electrolux would be in need of "at least" a 17 billion Swedish crown ($1.79 billion) rights issue

** "After the half-year report's sharply negative cash flow and rampant net debt, a large new share issue is inevitable," it says

** Analysts, who did not want their names to be revealed, point to the analysis as the reason for the share slump

** Electrolux tells Reuters in an emailed response it will not comment on "external analyses of this kind"

($1 = 9.5157 Swedish crowns)
