When policy rate fell in 2025, 530 of 999 ranked companies kept their operating margin at or above the year before. Among the largest: Sats Norway AS (20.8% → 23.3%), Sporty Norge AS (14.3% → 24.0%), Kristiansand Dyrepark AS (13.5% → 15.5%), Mova AS (3.8% → 9.5%), O Kristoffersen Bingodrift AS (2.9% → 4.2%).

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.

The sector in Norway (SSB)

The whole industry as Statistics Norway counts it: every enterprise, not only the limited companies we rank. Use these figures as background for the ranking above.

Enterprises, employment and turnover · 2024

Enterprises: 40,440; +1.0% from 2023
Persons employed: 36,372; +0.9% from 2023

All enterprises, sole proprietorships included. SSB withholds some figures for confidentiality. The figure then shows the latest year with every value, and the year is given beside it.

Bankruptcies in the industry

55 enterprise bankruptcies in the last four quarters (2025K4–2026K3). Change −27.6% against the four quarters before (76). That is about 1.4 per 1,000 enterprises.
