Norwegian consumer goods firm Orkla reports lower Q2 earnings and cash flow amid declining revenue.
Orkla posted a Q2 non-GAAP earnings per share of NOK 1.60, as revenue fell 5.4% year-over-year to NOK 16.7 billion. The decline reflects weaker demand across its consumer brands segment.
Cash flow before capital allocation totaled 1.6 billion, down 211 million from the same period last year. The company maintained its dividend policy, paying NOK 6.00 per share in the first half of 2026, including an additional NOK 2.00 above the ordinary dividend.
Shares showed limited movement following the release, as investors weighed the revenue contraction against stable dividend payouts.
