Consensus stays constructive
Market consensus data for Norsk Hydro still shows analyst attention on valuation and earnings delivery, with the share price at NOK 92.07 and a 1st Jan change of 17.68% on the latest quoted session snapshot.
For investors, the combination of a 6% revenue increase and a 15% EBITDA increase is the main signal to watch, because it suggests the business is converting top-line growth into stronger cash earnings.
