When export price of crude oil fell in 2025, 649 of 1,348 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: Norwegian Air Shuttle Aoc AS (0.8% → 2.0%), Posten Bring AS (−0.1% → 4.8%), Avinor AS (9.1% → 18.7%), VY Buss AS (2.2% → 3.2%), Norwegian Air AS (−34.2% → 19.2%).
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.
