The company boosted its dividend to NOK 58 per share, with a second payout of NOK 29 per share. Aker's shares climbed 3.03% to $1,156, indicating positive market sentiment. The company's fair value adjusted equity ratio stands at 87%, and its gross profit margin of 90.3% highlights its asset-light holdings. Aker's CEO, Øyvind Eriksen, emphasized the company's disciplined approach and focus on long-term value creation amidst significant geopolitical and technological shifts. CFO Svein Oskar Stoknes noted that the Cognite transaction would provide liquidity and flexibility without altering Aker's overall strategy.",
