When policy rate fell in 2025, 819 of 1,530 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: Norsk Scania AS (11.3% → 13.9%), Bilia Norge AS (2.1% → 2.9%), Ferde AS (93.8% → 94.1%), Møller Bil Øst AS (1.9% → 2.2%), Atb AS (−0.7% → −0.6%).

We show the drivers and the margin side by side and claim no cause. Sensitivity per company is not computed until we have at least 10 years of accounts per company: with three years such figures are false precision.
