Three simple methods
Suggested price: about 10 MNOK
The mean of the 3 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. The median of the methods is 10 MNOK. The mean is the suggested price, but the median is less sensitive to one method that deviates.
That is about 33,333 NOK per share, on 300 shares in the shareholder register.
The methods give between 7 MNOK and 14 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 15.1 | 10 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 16.7 | 14 MNOK |
| P/B | 1.5 | 7 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equity | NOK |
|---|---|
| Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple | 20 MNOK |
| Enterprise value after the size adjustment | 12 MNOK |
| Less net debt (rough figure) | −1 MNOK |
| Equity value | 14 MNOK |
Net debt is a rough figure: long-term liabilities minus cash. The accounts do not split interest-bearing debt from other liabilities, and short-term borrowings are not included. The size adjustment applies to the enterprise value, not to the debt.
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

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.
Over 2 years it equals 0% 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
- Several signs that a generation change may be coming.
- The chair is 60 or older.
- The managing director is 60 or older.
- 1 of 3 on the board are 60 or older.
- 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.
