Analyst upgrades lift sentiment
According to MarketScreener on September 18, 2026, ABG Sundal Collier upgraded Orsted from Hold to Buy with a new target price of DKK 180, up from a previous target of DKK 160, highlighting a more constructive view on the Danish renewable energy group.
A separate update from MarketScreener notes that Morningstar raised its recommendation on Orsted to Buy on September 17, 2026, after previously carrying a Neutral stance, adding another positive rating signal for investors.
Price level and upside versus targets
Per analyst consensus data compiled by MarketScreener on September 18, 2026, the last closing price for Orsted stock stands at DKK 135.95, while the average analyst target price is around DKK 172.30, implying roughly 26.74 percent potential upside from the latest close.

Tax dispute outcome and project progress as risk and support factors
As Zonebourse reported in recent days, a UK arbitration commission backed the taxation approach of British authorities for Orsted's offshore wind parks Walney Extension and Hornsea 1, clarifying fiscal rights but also underlining regulatory and tax risks around international wind assets.
In parallel, project execution remains an important fundamental driver: according to CT Mirror on September 18, 2026, Orsted and its partners have completed installation of all 65 turbines at the Revolution Wind project, which is designed for up to 704 megawatts of capacity later this year, underscoring the scale of the company’s offshore wind portfolio.
