Is US Court Reversal Of Trump’s Wind Project Ban Altering The Investment Case For Ørsted (CPSE:ORSTED)?

• In late November 2025, Ørsted and other clean-energy groups won a US federal court ruling that declared President Donald Trump’s ban on new wind projects unlawful, removing a legal barrier to future developments.
• This decision not only supports Ørsted’s US offshore wind ambitions but also highlights how judicial outcomes can materially influence long-term project visibility and confidence.
• Next, we’ll examine how this court victory on the US wind project ban shapes Ørsted’s investment narrative and perceived policy risk profile.

What Is Ørsted's Investment Narrative?

To own Ørsted today, you need to believe the company can convert its sizeable offshore wind pipeline into consistent profits despite recent losses, dilution and share price volatility. The recent US court ruling against President Trump’s wind project ban clearly lifted sentiment, but the 4% share price move suggests investors see it as easing, not transforming, Ørsted’s near term outlook. The big picture still revolves around project execution, capital discipline and balance sheet strength after a period of weak returns. In the short term, key catalysts remain progress on offshore awards such as Tonn Nua, cost efficiencies like the new Osonic platform, and clarity on future dividend policy. Policy risk in the US now looks a little less acute, but financing, profitability and political uncertainty across markets remain front and centre.

However, one major policy‑related risk still hangs over Ørsted’s long term project economics. Ørsted's share price has been on the slide but might be dropping deeper into value territory. Find out whether it's a bargain at this price.
