Key numbers explained

• 312,7 NOK is the current share price on the Oslo Børs, the main stock exchange in Norway.
• The trailing P/E ratio of 52,1 means the stock trades at roughly 52 times the company's last twelve months of earnings per share, which is a common way to compare valuation against peers.
• The forward P/E ratio of 27,9 uses expected future earnings and is often seen as a more forward-looking measure than the trailing figure.
• The dividend yield of 0,7% shows the annual dividend as a percentage of the share price, indicating the cash return to shareholders from dividends.
• The ex-dividend date is 14 apr. 2026, the date after which a buyer is no longer entitled to the next dividend payment.
• 37% of earnings are paid out as dividends, a metric known as the payout ratio, which reflects how much of profit is returned to shareholders versus retained for reinvestment.
• The beta of 0,22 suggests the stock has historically been less volatile than the overall market, a common measure of systematic risk.
• The 52-week price range of 228,5 – 427 NOK shows the lowest and highest traded prices over the past year, useful for context on where the current price sits.

What to watch

Kongsberg Gruppen is part of the Industrials sector and the Aerospace & Defense industry, which is often influenced by government defense budgets and geopolitical tensions. Because it is listed on the Oslo Børs, it is part of the broader Norwegian equity market alongside names like Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS), MPC Container Ships (MPCC), Tomra Systems (TOM), and Wallenius Wilhelmsen (WAWI). Investors tracking the defense and aerospace space may also look at Höegh Autoliners ASA (HAUTO) and Hafnia Limited (HAFNI) for sector context. The next earnings report is scheduled for 29 oct. 2026, which typically brings updated guidance and commentary on order intake and margins.
