Aker Carbon Capture ASA Announces Dividend Amid Strategic Sale

FORNEBU, Norway, June 10, 2025 — Aker Carbon Capture ASA, a prominent Norwegian company listed on the Oslo Bors ASA, has announced a significant dividend distribution of NOK 2.86 per share, effective today. This move comes as part of a strategic decision to sell its 20 percent ownership interest in SLB Capturi to Aker ASA, marking a pivotal shift in the company’s portfolio.

The dividend distribution, announced across multiple financial news platforms, underscores Aker Carbon Capture ASA’s commitment to rewarding its shareholders while strategically realigning its business focus. The transaction, detailed in a stock exchange announcement on May 9, 2025, reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its asset base and concentrate on core areas of expertise.

Despite the positive news of the dividend, Aker Carbon Capture ASA faces challenges in its financial metrics. The company’s close price on June 9, 2025, stood at a mere 0.1441 NOK, a significant drop from its 52-week high of 7.88 NOK on February 12, 2025. The market capitalization is currently valued at 1.75 billion NOK, with a price-to-earnings ratio of -110.57, indicating substantial volatility and investor caution.

The sale of the 20 percent stake in SLB Capturi is a strategic divestment aimed at reducing the company’s exposure in this venture, allowing Aker Carbon Capture ASA to streamline its operations and focus on its primary mission of carbon capture technology development.

In a related note, an error was corrected regarding the publication of dividend information. Initially, details about Aker Carbon Capture ASA’s ex-dividend were mistakenly published under the Aker Horizons ASA ticker. The correction was made promptly, ensuring accurate dissemination of information to stakeholders.

As Aker Carbon Capture ASA navigates these strategic changes, investors and market watchers will be keenly observing the company’s ability to leverage its core competencies in carbon capture technology while maintaining shareholder value amidst a challenging financial landscape.
