Hello

In:

Han var mån om att skicka signalen till marknaden att Stora inte tänkte ***investera sönder*** högkonjunkturen och marknaden.

how can you "invest to breaking point the economic boom and market?"

I would have understood if you "investera sônder ett bolag" (over-invest and so maybe run into problems with the a high loan interest rate or have a cashflow problem) but not "invest to breaking point the boom"

Does anyone know how to interpret this segment please?

Thanks in advance

Explanation:
Stora was such a big operator that if they applied all their resources to invest in other companies, or buy them, this could lead to such an imbalance that it damaged the economic upswing and the market.
