Key facts
Is the company run well?
Five key figures against companies in the Morning class Micro in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.
- Profitability · operating margin −11.2% Weaker than the industry Industry: 4.1%
- Returns · return on assets −13.1% Weaker than the industry Industry: 7.3%
- Solidity · equity ratio 83.6% Better than the industry Industry: 39.8%
- Liquidity · current ratio 3.12 Better than the industry Industry: 1.69
- Growth · revenue growth 13.5% Better than the industry Industry: 5.0%
The mark comes from the company's place among comparable companies (percentile): green from 60, amber from 40, red below 40. Negative equity, an operating loss and a current ratio under 1 pull it down regardless. Methodology

How we calculate
The industry or the company: what drove the result?
In 2025 the operating margin of Rek AS rose by 10.6 percentage points. Comparable companies fell by a median 0.3 points. So the company did 10.9 points better than the industry, for reasons of its own.
Over 2 year-to-year changes Rek 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.
| Year | The company | Comparable (median) | Change, company | Change, industry | The company's own |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | −21.8% | 4.4% | −33.8 percentage points | +0.2 percentage points | −34.0 percentage points |
| 2025 | −11.2% | 4.1% | +10.6 percentage points | −0.3 percentage points | +10.9 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.

Three simple methods
Suggested price: about 3 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 29,000 NOK per share, on 100 shares in the shareholder register.
One method gives a figure: 3 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 22.2 | not meaningful |
| EV/EBIT | 18.6 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 3.0 | 3 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.
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

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)
- Equity moved as the result implied in 2025.
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
- Several signs that a generation change may be coming.
- The chair is 60 or older.
- The managing director is 60 or older.
- 1 of 1 on the board are 60 or older.
- What the largest owner can do alone
- The largest owner holds 50.0% of the shares, more than a third but not a majority. The owner can alone stop decisions that need two thirds, such as changes to the articles (Companies Act § 5-18), but cannot alone secure ordinary decisions.
The owner is a private person.
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.
