The hook for Elmera Group in this period is simple. Q2 2026 revenue reached NOK 3,438.997 million while net income, excluding extra items, came in at NOK 35.299 million. Investors who held Elmera Group over the past year are up 55.5%, including dividends. If you were deciding whether to buy on 4 November 2025, what conviction about Norgespris, digital platforms, and future Nordic power demand would you have needed?
A Narrative on Simply Wall St is one investor's written case for a company, with its growth, margin and multiple assumptions spelled out. Those assumptions imply an estimated Fair Value.

The shares cost NOK32 at the start of the period, so any investor looking at Elmera Group then had to decide which story felt more believable.
The optimistic narrative put fair value at NOK34.33 and hinged on Norgespris lifting electricity consumption and supporting Elmera Group as a key Norwegian retailer. It also leaned heavily on digital platforms and in-house power trading to improve forecasting and reduce procurement costs.
The cautious narrative saw fair value at NOK26 and focused on renewable and decentralized energy pressuring traditional grid based retail. It also highlighted tighter regulations and higher capital costs that could squeeze profitability for years.
Q2 2026 put hard numbers on the Elmera Group debate. Revenue reached NOK 3,438.997 million compared with NOK 2,061.16 million a year earlier, which backed the optimistic view that demand and digital execution could support higher volumes. Net income excluding extra items rose from NOK 27.082 million to NOK 35.299 million, yet net margin slipped from 1.3% to 1.0%, so the profitability leg of the bullish story remained unproven.
The lesson is simple. When a thesis leans on better margins as much as on higher sales, you need to track both the absolute profit and the percentage margin in each result, then decide whether the business is actually turning scale into richer economics.
Elmera Group shares trade at NOK46.75 today after a 55.5% gain over the past year. The selected Narrative’s Fair Value sits below the current price, framing today’s level as rich compared with its own assessment of the business.
The Narrative now leans on contract mix, Nordic expansion and earnings quality rather than raw volume. A buyer today effectively backs sustained margin per unit and resilient EBIT. How does the source’s focus on credit costs and volatile elspot prices affect that assumption?
"The main thing that has to go right is that Elmera Group continues to shift its portfolio toward higher margin products and away from low-margin tender and legacy contracts, while keeping EBIT resilient despite higher working capital needs and financing costs."

After you map out Elmera Group, one step further still matters. Power has to be produced, not only retailed and traded.
Large data centers and heavy users want reliable electricity on long contracts. They also look for storage and flexible gas capacity to keep costs predictable.
Another utility focused group is trying to meet that demand directly. It develops large generation hubs, renewables and batteries around very concentrated loads.
Your question is simple. If Nordic power retail feels fully priced, does that kind of long contract infrastructure story deserve a closer look?
