Kongsberg stock (ISIN NO0003043309) is framed by a NOK 309.05 share price as of September 3, 2026, a 52-week range of NOK 90.00 to NOK 135.80 and a market value of NOK 7.04 billion on the cited market page. A defense contract for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, reported by Joint Forces on September 2, 2026, adds a fresh catalyst around the name.

Contract money is visible

The contract is worth about USD 710,000 and covers machined components for the MCT-30 medium calibre turret, with deliveries scheduled through 2026 and 2027. For investors, the scale is modest, but the customer mix matters because it ties Kongsberg to another US defense platform.

Half-year figures still set the tone

In the latest half-year report for the period ended June 30, 2026, Kongsberg cited revenue of NOK 45.4 billion and EBIT of NOK 4.6 billion, while order intake reached NOK 43.8 billion. That makes the top line and the order book the key numbers to watch after the new contract headline.

Compared with the first quarter, order intake was already up from NOK 22.2 billion in Q1 2026 to NOK 43.8 billion in the half-year period, showing a clear step-up in booking momentum. Revenue of NOK 45.4 billion also leaves the business with a large base before the next quarterly update.

Defense exposure stays central

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace remains the group's most visible product and service anchor, and the MCT-30 component award fits that pattern. The company also appears in maritime work, but the defense side is what gives the current headline its market relevance.

Stock level into the update

The share price was NOK 309.05 as of September 3, 2026, with the latest quoted move at -0.99 percent on the cited market snapshot. That leaves the stock well above the 52-week low of NOK 90.00 and below the 52-week high of NOK 135.80 on the same page.
