    Listen to the news

    Vår Energi (OB:VAR) just packed several updates into one day. Fresh third quarter results, new full year 2026 production guidance, and a proposed third quarter dividend all landed on 21 October 2026.

    The latest results and dividend proposal have landed after a strong run in Vår Energi’s shares. The stock is now at NOK59.1 with a year-to-date share price return of 76.95%, alongside a 1-year total shareholder return of 95.81%, which signals building momentum rather than a short-term spike.

    Most Popular Narrative: 7% Overvalued

    Vår Energi’s most followed narrative puts fair value at NOK55.07 against the latest close at NOK59.1, so the story currently frames the stock as pricing in more than that fair value estimate while focusing heavily on its project pipeline and cost profile.

    Large, flexible project pipeline (30+ early phase projects, over 3 billion barrels of resource potential) and a leading exploration track record position the company for organic, long-duration growth, helping sustain and increase future revenue. Ongoing reduction in unit operating costs (targeting approximately $10/boe from approximately $12.2/boe in H1, driven by new low-cost fields and digitalization) and rebidding contracts will structurally improve net margins and earnings resilience, even in volatile pricing environments.

    See why 53 investors see Vår Energi as 7% overvalued.

    Result: Fair Value of NOK55.07 (OVERVALUED)

    Still, the Vår Energi story can change quickly if energy transition policies accelerate or if higher decommissioning and carbon costs reduce those margin assumptions.

    Another View: SWS DCF Model Flips The Story

    The popular narrative has Vår Energi slightly overvalued on a fair value of NOK55.07. The SWS DCF model presents a different perspective. At NOK59.1, the shares are described as trading about 43.5% below an estimated future cash flow value of roughly NOK104.59, which frames today’s price as a discount rather than a premium. Which set of assumptions do you trust more?
