The industry or the company: what drove the result?
In 2025 the operating margin of Midthaug AS fell by 72.7 percentage points. Comparable companies fell by a median 0.3 points. So the company did 72.4 points weaker than the industry, for reasons of its own.

| 2025 | −103.6% | 4.1% | −72.7 percentage points | −0.3 percentage points | −72.4 percentage points |
Comparable companies are those in the same industry and Morning company class. Their change shows what hit the whole industry, the sector drivers below included. The rest is the company's own: contracts, costs, one-off items or operations. The share is approximate, and we claim no cause.

What the numbers say
Midthaug AS had an operating margin of −103.6% and an equity ratio of 13.4% in 2025, and ranks 6,586 of 7,072 in Industri.

Three simple methods
The methods give between 17 MNOK and 25 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 22.2 | 25 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 18.6 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 3.0 | 17 MNOK |
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 4% on the cost of equity gives a value 38% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.
The NACE code has no listed industry of its own in the table, so the multiples are the sector median: Machinery, Food Processing, Chemical (Specialty), Building Materials, Packaging & Container.
