How we calculate

The industry or the company: what drove the result?

In 2025 the operating margin of Kranmannen AS rose by 5.7 percentage points. Comparable companies rose by a median 0.1 points. So the company did 5.6 points better than the industry, for reasons of its own.

Over 2 year-to-year changes Kranmannen AS moved the same way as comparable companies 0 times. About 1% of the changes in operating margin were common to the industry; the rest was the company's own.

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.

Estimated value · 2025

Three simple methods

Our calculations

Suggested price: about 2 MNOK

The mean of the 1 methods below (P/E, EV/EBIT and P/B with listed multiples and a size adjustment), rounded to two significant figures. It is a calculation, not a bid or a valuation. Fewer than three methods gave a figure, so the mean is weaker than it looks.
That is about 833 NOK per share, on 3,000 shares in the shareholder register.

One method gives a figure: 2 MNOK.

MethodInputMultipleListed basisEstimate
P/E Net profit (mean 2023–2025): −0.3 MNOK 15.1 – not meaningful
EV/EBIT Operating profit (mean 2023–2025): −0.1 MNOK 16.7 – not meaningful
P/B Equity: 2.7 MNOK 1.5 4 MNOK 2 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 multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (49.4): Trucking.

Not financial advice. The value range is a rough model estimate from listed-company multiples, not a valuation, a price target or a price offer. The actual value may differ greatly. Read more

Our calculations

Figures you will not find in any register

We calculated these figures ourselves from the accounts and registers we have read. The company has not reported them and the Brønnøysund Register Centre does not publish them. They are indications and are not part of the index. How we calculate

Implied dividend (net payout)
0.5 MNOK left equity beyond the result in 2025.
That equals 114% of the year's result.
More left than the company earned in the year.
Over 2 years it equals 97% of the sum of the results.
Calculated as retained earnings at the start of the year + net result − retained earnings at the end of the year. What remains is dividends and group contributions, plus transfers to other items and corrections of earlier years. It is not a dividend figure.
Owners and leadership aged 60 or older
No sign of a near generation change in the ages.
  • The chair is under 60.
  • The managing director is under 60.
  • 0 of 1 on the board are 60 or older.
Age is this year minus the birth year in the registers and can be a year off. It says something about age, not about anyone planning to step down.
What the largest owner can do alone
The largest owner holds 100.0% of the shares, more than nine tenths. The owner is a company and can then buy out the other shareholders by compulsion (Norwegian Companies Act § 4-26), provided it also holds the corresponding share of the votes. Every other decision the owner can secure alone. The owner is a Norwegian company.
Applies to the largest single owner in the shareholder register (2025). The articles can limit voting rights and owners can vote together, and we cannot see either. Ownership through other companies is not counted.
Control against ownership through the chain
A private person holds a majority at each of 2 links and so controls the company, but owns at least 100% of it itself.
The top owner is the highest we can establish, and it can itself be owned by others. The figure is «at least» because other routes between the owner and the company only add to it. The articles can limit voting rights, and we cannot see that. Shareholder register (2025).
