** Software provider Qt Group QTCOM.HE jumps around 4% as broadly in-line Q1 results trigger relief after AI concerns wiped more than a third off the Finnish company's value this year

** Inderes analyst Antti Luiro says low expectations, driven by worries about product development, meant the positive share reaction required little, adding that concerns around AI-driven  programming have become more prominent this year

** "These low expectations stemmed from concerns that the cycle of product development investments would continue to weaken and that Qt would suffer even more severely in the current market," he says

** Qt among top movers on the Helsinki blue-chip index .OMXH25, with today's gains cutting YTD losses to below 39%
