NEL ASA ( (NLLSF) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nel ASA reported first-quarter 2026 revenue from contracts with customers of NOK 148 million, down 5% year on year, and total revenue and income of NOK 152 million, while narrowing its EBITDA loss to NOK 100 million. Order intake plunged 73% to NOK 85 million and the order backlog shrank 24% to NOK 1.113 billion, though the group ended the period with a solid cash balance of NOK 1.443 billion.

The Alkaline Electrolyser business grew revenue by 6%, sharply improved EBITDA and held a NOK 270 million backlog, as Nel prepared to launch a new pressurised alkaline platform in May that management says could set new industry benchmarks amid growing focus on resilient, decentralised hydrogen-based energy solutions.
