after Aker BP, at NOK 32 billion. Aker’s Annual General Meeting approved a
dividend of NOK 29.00 per share paid in May 2026.
In the first quarter, Aker continued to deliver on its strategy of a more
focused portfolio, with increased diversification and investments in new
pillars of growth. Net Asset Value increased by NOK 43 billion related to two
main drivers:
First, Aker’s increased ownership in Nscale, following the Series C funding
round, which represented NOK 22 billion kroner of the increase in Net Asset
Value.
And second, the value of Aker’s listed energy assets increased – Aker BP
contributed by NOK 15 billion of the NAV increase, and NOK 7 billion was
contributed by Aker Solutions, Solstad Maritime, Solstad Offshore and Akastor.
“Aker delivered a record quarter, with NOK 43 billion increase in Net Asset
Value, crossing NOK 100 billion for the first time, and our share price up 39
percent. What excites me most is not the numbers themselves, but what they
represent: a portfolio repositioned at the intersection of energy and AI, two
segments with undisputed growth trajectories, pursued alongside customers and
partners who are defining the future globally. I can hardly think of a better
point of departure for generating long-term value for Aker shareholders,” said
Eriksen.
Aker’s NAV stood at NOK 1,478 per share at quarter-end. Listed investments
accounted for NOK 1,039, Unlisted investments NOK 605, and Cash & other assets
NOK 38 per share. The share price at quarter-end was NOK 1,070, implying 28%
discount to NAV.
