When policy rate fell in 2025, 758 of 1,497 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: BDO AS (10.4% → 43.2%), Pricewaterhousecoopers AS (21.1% → 24.3%), ERNST & Young AS (1.8% → 2.3%), KPMG AS (13.4% → 13.9%), Wikborg Rein Advokatfirma AS (50.0% → 52.1%).

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.
