Orsted (ISIN DK0060094928) was trading at EUR 17.82 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 12:49 p.m. CEST, down 4.04 percent versus the prior close of EUR 18.57. On September 22, 2026, Orsted opened the 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm with Nuveen in the German North Sea.

913 MW project expands German capacity

Borkum Riffgrund 3 is owned equally by Orsted and Nuveen and can produce enough renewable electricity for close to one million German households, according to the company release dated September 22, 2026. The project is Orsted's sixth operational offshore wind farm in Germany.

The new facility brings Orsted's installed German offshore capacity to 2.50 GW and its national market share to 25.00 percent, the company said on September 22, 2026. That combination gives the project a measurable operating footprint rather than only a development-stage promise.

Analyst target reaches DKK 180.00

On September 18, 2026, MarketScreener reported that ABG Sundal Collier upgraded Orsted from Hold to Buy and raised its target from DKK 160.00 to DKK 180.00. The DKK 20.00 increase equals 12.50 percent and provides a quantified comparison with the latest analyst view.

The next scheduled reporting event is Orsted's third-quarter 2026 earnings release on November 5, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The date gives the market a defined point for testing whether project execution is translating into financial performance.
