Orkla stock (ISIN NO0003733800) was trading at EUR 8.49 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 2:35 p.m. CEST, matching the prior close of EUR 8.49. The latest buyback update from Placera on October 1, 2026 lists 2,440,000 shares acquired at an average NOK 93.33.

Buyback reaches 2.44 million shares

The transactions covered purchases from September 22 through September 29, 2026. Orkla now holds 26,067,931 own shares, equal to 2.65 percent of its share capital, according to Placera.

The program was announced on September 21, 2026 and can run through December 31, 2027. Its early transactions give investors a concrete measure of capital allocation: NOK 227.7 million has been spent across the reported period.

Second quarter shows mixed growth

In the second quarter of 2026, reported revenue declined 5.00 percent, while underlying revenue was flat after currency translation effects. Underlying adjusted EBIT grew 2.50 percent and the EBIT margin was 10.50 percent, according to Yahoo Finance in the transcript of the August 20, 2026 results call.

The comparison matters because underlying profitability improved while reported revenue contracted. Adjusted earnings per share increased 3.00 percent to NOK 1.60 in the second quarter of 2026, but management also highlighted pressure from raw materials, transportation and packaging costs.

Oslo listing remains below yearly high

That range places the Oslo price NOK 38.05 below the yearly high and NOK 2.15 above the yearly low. The euro quote remains the relevant reference for German investors, while the Oslo figures show the local listing's broader trading context.
