The recent jump in Kongsberg Gruppen’s share price and contracts now leaves a wide gap between the NOK 312.10 market price, analyst targets, and intrinsic value estimates. Which reference point looks closest to fair value?
Kongsberg Gruppen is framed by the most followed narrative as undervalued, with a fair value of NOK 397.27 against the NOK 312.10 close, and that view leans heavily on how a record order book could play out over several years.
Markets may underestimate how a record NOK 158bn order backlog with scheduled deliveries stretching through 2028 and beyond can translate into multi year revenue recognition for Kongsberg Gruppen, even after factoring in execution risk and project mix effects, which could support earnings and cash flow visibility.
