The loss - which is linked to costs arising from the Trump administration's opposition to wind power projects in the US - was unexpected. Analysts had expected an operating profit of 1.3 billion, according to Bloomberg.
However, sales increased 9.8 percent year-on-year to 23.1 billion Danish kroner. This was significantly more than the expected 19.6 billion.
For 2026, Ørsted confirms the forecast of an operating profit excluding non-recurring items of DKK 28 billion, and gross investments during the year are estimated to be DKK 50-55 billion.
