Aker ASA ( (AKAAF) ) has provided an announcement.

Aker ASA reported that net asset value rose to NOK 110 billion in the first quarter of 2026, or NOK 1,478 per share, crossing the NOK 100 billion mark for the first time and lifting its share price by 39 percent. The board’s dividend of NOK 29 per share was approved, while the stock still trades at a 28 percent discount to NAV, underscoring upside potential seen by management.

The quarter’s NOK 43 billion NAV gain was driven mainly by Aker’s larger stake in data centre company Nscale and strong appreciation in listed energy holdings, led by Aker BP and Aker Solutions and affiliates. Operationally, Nscale advanced major AI-focused data centre projects with Microsoft, Aker BP brought new oil fields into production ahead of schedule, and Cognite deepened its AI partnerships, reinforcing Aker’s strategy of building growth pillars at the nexus of energy and AI.

The most recent analyst rating on (AKAAF) stock is a Sell with a NOK565.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aker ASA stock, see the AKAAF Stock Forecast page.
