"In a time of global uncertainty, Aker continues to act with discipline, focused
on what we can control and influence. The first half of 2025 reflects our
commitment to long-term value creation - through deliberate portfolio
refinement, strategic steps in real estate, and early positioning in areas we
believe hold long-term potential. Despite continued geopolitical uncertainty and
volatility, we outperformed the market with a total shareholder return of 24.1
percent in the first half of the year, including dividend, our portfolio
continues to demonstrate both resilience and capacity for shareholder value
creation," said Øyvind Eriksen, President and CEO of Aker ASA.
During the first half of 2025, Aker demonstrated active ownership in line with
its long-term strategy of building a more focused portfolio with potential for
value creation. This included expanding its exposure to real estate through
investments in SBB and Public Property Invest and simplifying the portfolio
structure by consolidating ownership in Aker Horizons.
