Worth a closer look
- Current liabilities exceed current assets other than bank deposits, and the current ratio is weak. Is it customer prepayments and supplier credit that fund the operations, or short-term loans that must be renewed? Based on: net working capital to revenue −223.4% (median −12.4%); current ratio 1.02 (median 1.40).
- The change in operating margin in 2025 was 0.6 percentage points weaker than for comparable companies: the company +0.2, the industry +0.7 points. That is the company's own, not something that hit the whole industry.

How we calculate
The industry or the company: what drove the result?
In 2025 the operating margin of Ferro AS rose by 0.2 percentage points. Comparable companies rose by a median 0.7 points. So the company did 0.6 points weaker than the industry, for reasons of its own.
Over 2 year-to-year changes Ferro AS moved the same way as comparable companies 1 times. About 65% 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 | 87.6% | 46.9% | +0.6 percentage points | +0.9 percentage points | −0.3 percentage points |
| 2025 | 87.8% | 47.7% | +0.2 percentage points | +0.7 percentage points | −0.6 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 30 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 methods differ widely (the highest is 13.0 times the lowest), so the estimate is uncertain.
That is about 243,902 NOK per share, on 123 shares in the shareholder register.
The methods give between 5 MNOK and 61 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 10.5 | 23 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 19.2 | 61 MNOK |
| P/B | 0.7 | 5 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equity | NOK |
|---|---|
| Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple | 82 MNOK |
| Enterprise value after the size adjustment | 50 MNOK |
| Less net debt (rough figure) | −11 MNOK |
| Equity value | 61 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 (68.2): R.E.I.T..
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
- 10.0 MNOK left equity beyond the result in 2025.
That equals 267% of the year's result.
More left than the company earned in the year.
Over 2 years it equals 137% 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
