Orsted stock closed at DKK 135.95 on Nasdaq Copenhagen on September 17, 2026, gaining 1.57 percent from the prior close in a session that marked a rebound for the shares. Compared with the OMX Copenhagen 25 benchmark, which showed a far smaller move on the day, the stock outperformed its home index in the last completed session.
September 17, 2026 in numbers
Orsted A/S (ISIN DK0060094928) ended trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen at DKK 135.95 on September 17, 2026, up 1.57 percent from the previous closing level of DKK 133.85, according to exchange data reflected in market overviews from MarketScreener and Yahoo Finance. Per these same data points, the day saw the shares trade between an intraday low close to the prior session level and the closing high of DKK 135.95, with turnover in line with recent days, while the OMX Copenhagen 25 index moved significantly less on the day.
A key driver for the move was a rating change from Morningstar, which upgraded Orsted to a Buy recommendation on September 17, 2026, highlighting upside potential versus its fair value estimate. As MarketScreener reported, the service moved its stance from Neutral to Buy while pointing to an average target price of around DKK 172.30, giving the stock meaningful headroom above the latest close. A separate wrap from Ad-hoc-news likewise linked the share price strength to the rating upgrade and noted that the intraday quote during the session traded around DKK 135.80.
Today’s agenda for Orsted stock
Looking ahead to today’s trading, the recent rating action from Morningstar remains the most tangible input for sentiment as the market prepares for the next Copenhagen session. As MarketScreener explained, the upgraded recommendation and the gap between the latest close and the cited average target level can keep attention on the shares. In parallel, sector news around offshore wind and broader equity developments captured in general market reports, such as the modest advances seen in major global indices in the last session, form the wider backdrop for Orsted as trading resumes today.
