Key facts
Is the company run well?
Five key figures against companies in the same sector. Green is better than most, amber about like the industry and red weaker than most.
- Returns · return on assets −0.6% Weaker than the industry Industry: 13.8%
- Solidity · equity ratio 61.2% Better than the industry Industry: 39.8%
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

Scenario analysis: the sector's weakest year
We have no accounts for 2021, the sector's weakest year, for this company.
The sector's weakest year was 2021, with a median operating margin of −0.2%. Based on the 10 fiscal years we have. The analysis grows as more years are fetched or imported. Methodology

Of the financial costs of 0.0 MNOK, 0.0 MNOK is reported as interest costs in the accounts.
The median and the bar refer to companies in the same sector in 2025. The bar shows the share of the group with a lower figure: higher is not always better, long receivable days tie up capital, for example. These figures do not count in the score.

What the numbers say
Element AS had an equity ratio of 61.2% in 2025. The company is not ranked: revenue not reported.
No large changes in the key figures from 2024 to 2025.

Three simple methods
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 15,000 NOK per share, on 120 shares in the shareholder register.
One method gives a figure: 2 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 14.9 | not meaningful |
| EV/EBIT | 14.3 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 2.3 | 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 (71.1): Engineering/Construction.
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
- Equity paid out or paid in
- 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
- One sign that a generation change may be coming.
- The chair is 60 or older.
- 1 of 1 on the board are 60 or older.
