NORDEN (One-pager): Asset sales and strong coverage offset weaker spot markets

D/S Norden
Download report (PDF)

Read the latest NORDEN One-pager following the Q2 2025 results, where the dry cargo and tanker shipping owner and operator delivered a net profit of USD 52 million, up from USD 46 million in Q2 2024. The result was supported by continued profitable contract cover and vessel sales gains of USD 38 million, while weaker spot markets weighed on Freight Services & Trading (FST).

NORDEN maintained its policy of quarterly shareholder distributions with an interim dividend of DKK 2 per share (USD 20 million) and launched a new USD 10 million share buyback programme, following the USD 10 million buyback completed earlier in the year. Net Asset Value (NAV) was estimated at DKK 337 per share, broadly stable compared to Q1.

For 2025, NORDEN has raised the lower end of its net profit guidance to USD 70-130 million (previously USD 50-130 million), reflecting stronger-than-expected vessel sales gains of USD 70 million (previously USD 45 million). Year-to-date, the company has sold 20 vessels and signed 18 new lease agreements, including 10 multi-purpose vessels to strengthen its presence in project cargo.
