Order backlog and HVDC exposure
NKT remains closely tied to the expansion of offshore wind and high voltage direct current links; industry coverage on September 2, 2026, reported that offshore wind projects account for about 45% of NKT’s high voltage order backlog, highlighting how strongly the company is positioned in this niche.
A separate sector report on corona discharge ring assemblies updated on September 3, 2026, lists NKT A/S as a medium large manufacturer focused on high voltage cable solutions, underlining its role as a key supplier of accessories and components for modern power transmission infrastructure.
Cable systems as a core product
At the heart of NKT’s business are high voltage power cable systems used to connect offshore wind farms and strengthen long distance transmission lines, including HVDC links that move large amounts of electricity with reduced losses across borders.
These cable solutions typically cover the design, manufacture and installation of both alternating current and direct current systems, and recent industry commentary has pointed out that demand is being driven by grid reinforcement projects in Northern Europe and interconnectors in the North Sea region.
Stock price and investor perspective
With NKT stock changing hands at 929.00 Danish kroner as of the close on September 2, 2026, the company’s valuation reflects both its strong order backlog in high voltage cables and investors’ expectations that the build out of HVDC infrastructure in Europe will continue to support earnings over the coming years.
