When policy rate fell in 2025, 3,829 of 6,922 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: OBOS Block Watne AS (−7.7% → 1.3%), DNB Eiendom AS (−1.5% → 2.9%), Ferncliff Tih AS (−717.9% → 99.2%), Ferncliff Holding AS (78.3% → 99.8%), OBOS Nye Hjem AS (−0.8% → −0.7%).

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.
