When policy rate fell in 2025, 191 of 350 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: Storebrand Asset Management AS (9.5% → 21.3%), DNB Asset Management AS (50.7% → 51.4%), Vipps Mobilepay AS (−44.2% → −6.3%), Arctic Securities AS (12.4% → 18.5%), HV Capital Vii AS (87.9% → 97.5%).

We show the drivers and the margin side by side and claim no cause. Sensitivity per company is not computed until we have at least 10 years of accounts per company: with three years such figures are false precision.
