  "account": "Aker increased its earnings to 111.2 billion kroner in the third quarter, according to the company's quarterly report released on Wednesday. The earnings were up from 106 billion kroner at the end of the previous quarter. The company's board has approved a dividend of 29 kroner per share, equivalent to a total payout of 2.2 billion kroner. The payout is set to be made around November 17. Aker notes that earnings have risen by 44 billion kroner since the start of the year, following a dividend payment. Oil company Aker BP, in which Aker has a stake, contributed the most to the earnings growth in the quarter, while AI company Nscale gave the largest contribution so far this year. Aker's conglomerate has placed great emphasis on artificial intelligence through the data center company Nscale, which has become one of Aker's largest investments. At the beginning of the year, Nscale was the biggest driver of Aker's earnings crossing the 100-billion-kroner threshold for the first time. In September, Nscale sought to list on the New York Stock Exchange, a listing that has received significant market expectations. Aker's books still record Aker's stake in Nscale at a value of 32.1 billion kroner. Thus, only Aker's stake in oil company Aker BP has a larger value, at 45.5 billion kroner. However, recent concerns over investment and debt related to AI development, and falling stock prices in AI companies, have dampened the euphoria. On Oslo Borse, the anxiety has put a dampener on Aker's stock. It has fallen around 30 percent from its peak at the beginning of September. Aker CEO Øyvind Eriksen said in a press release that Aker delivered a solid third quarter. - Markets will move up and down, as they have shown in recent weeks, but the industrial foundation for our investments remains solid, he said. The sale of technology company Cognite to Schneider Electric, announced in the summer, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter, with Aker's share amounting to 14.7 billion kroner. - With revenues from the Cognite transaction expected in the fourth quarter, Aker's financial flexibility will be further strengthened, positioning the company to act when opportunities arise, says Eriksen.",
