Operations: Revenue from oil and gas activities amounts to $1.17 billion.

Insider Ownership: 13.5%

DNO ASA's revenue is forecast to grow at 28.8% annually, surpassing the Norwegian market average. The company is expected to become profitable within three years, with earnings projected to rise by 97.53% per year. Despite trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, DNO carries high debt levels and its dividend yield of 10.27% isn't well covered by earnings or cash flow. Recent strategic alliances with Aker BP could enhance resource recovery and operational efficiencies in key areas.

AB Sagax (OM:SAGA A)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: AB Sagax (publ) is a property company that owns and manages a diverse real estate portfolio across several European countries, including Sweden, Finland, France, Benelux, Spain, and Germany, with a market cap of SEK71.78 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue segment primarily consists of Real Estate - Rental, generating SEK5.30 billion.

Insider Ownership: 28.7%

AB Sagax's earnings are forecast to grow significantly at 23.9% annually, outpacing the Swedish market average. However, revenue growth is slower at 7.7% per year, though still above the market rate. Recent financials show a decline in net income for both the third quarter and nine months ending September 2025 despite increased sales, partly due to large one-off items affecting results. The company's debt coverage by operating cash flow remains inadequate.
