Norsk Hydro
Summary
Norsk Hydro is portrayed as a company heavily impacted by geopolitical tensions, particularly Trump's trade policies, which threaten its aluminum exports to Europe. The entity is criticized for its vulnerability to tariffs and declining demand, with one speaker explicitly stating it is 'the selskapet som har trukket indeksen nest mest med' (the company that has dragged the index the most). Its stock has shown volatility, falling 0.4% after Trump's tariff announcements. However, its reliance on cheap Norwegian electricity is highlighted as a competitive advantage, with a guest noting that 'billig strøm was the fundamental premise' for its operations. The analysis reveals a mix of negative perceptions tied to external risks and positive recognition of its energy-driven efficiency.
