NORDEN (One-pager): Asset sales drive net income upgrade
Read the latest NORDEN One-pager following the Q3 2025 results, where the dry cargo and tanker shipping company reported a net profit of USD 26 million, bringing year-to-date earnings to USD 111 million. The result was driven by continued strong performance in the Asset Management unit, which benefited from vessel sales gains of USD 27 million and profitable tanker coverage, while the Freight Services & Trading unit showed gradual improvement but remained challenged by high charter costs and soft large-vessel margins.
NORDEN continued its quarterly shareholder distributions with an interim dividend of DKK 2 per share (USD 20 million) and announced a new USD 10 million share buyback programme, maintaining its policy to distribute at least 50% of annual profit. The company’s Net Asset Value (self-reported, including purchase option value) increased by 7% quarter-on-quarter to DKK 362 per share.
Ahead of the Q3 results, NORDEN raised its full-year 2025 net profit guidance to USD 100-140 million (previously USD 70–130 million), supported by improving market conditions, higher forward rates, and realized asset gains.
