What Norconsult does

Norway's largest multidisciplinary engineering and consulting firm for infrastructure, buildings and energy projects.

Sells engineers' time on projects, mostly billed by the hour or at agreed fees, so revenue follows the number of consultants and how many are billed. Employees hold a large stake in the firm, and it also works in other Nordic markets beyond its Norwegian base.

In one line: Norway's largest engineering consultancy.

Is Norconsult expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 15.7× against a peer median of 16.8×, 9th cheapest of 17 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -6% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +11%, so the hurdle is -16 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.

Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +2.1% against -17.7% for the median peer; over one year -23.1%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
