An update from Orkla ASA ( (GB:0FIN) ) is now available.

Orkla ASA has called its 2026 annual general meeting for 23 April, to be held digitally, and will present shareholders with a proposal for a 2025 dividend of NOK 6.00 per share, including an extra NOK 2.00 on top of the ordinary payout. The company will also ask investors to approve a share capital reduction of NOK 20 million by cancelling 16,001,026 treasury shares, trimming the total share count to 985,429,944, a move that tightens capital structure and enhances value per remaining share.

The board’s proposed combination of an elevated dividend and a meaningful share cancellation signals confidence in Orkla’s cash generation and commitment to capital returns. These measures, ahead of the 2025 annual report due on 27 March 2026, could support the company’s valuation and appeal to income-focused investors in the Nordic consumer goods sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0FIN) stock is a Hold with a NOK130.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Orkla ASA stock, see the GB:0FIN Stock Forecast page.
