Scatec (OB:SCATC) just posted third quarter 2026 results that combined higher sales with a much wider loss, after weaker power production, tariff delays, and grid connection lags prompted management to cut full year EBITDA guidance.
Scatec’s share price tells a mixed story, with a 7 day share price return of 5.02% after the Q3 release, yet down 17.90% over 30 days and 21.55% year to date. The 3 year total shareholder return of 27.87% contrasts with a 46.52% decline over five years, which points to weaker long term momentum.

Scatec is growing its renewable footprint while reporting deep losses and a cut to Power Production EBITDA guidance. After the recent share price rebound, is that mix of scale and volatility actually priced fairly today?
On the most followed view, Scatec’s fair value sits at NOK130.38, comfortably above the NOK84.65 last close. This puts execution of its project pipeline in the spotlight for anyone weighing that gap.
Scatec’s 12.3 GW generation and 6.8 GWh storage near term portfolio, which management aims to realize over the next 2 to 3 years, gives the company multiple levers to convert contracted and merchant projects into additional revenue and EBITDA as these assets move from backlog and construction into operation.
See why 14 investors see Scatec as 35% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of NOK130.38 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, Scatec’s story can change quickly if currency swings, geopolitical shocks or weaker power production further pressure EBITDA and delay any improvement in net losses.
