In results published on 29 October, Kongsberg Gruppen reported 50 per cent revenue growth compared with the same quarter in 2025. Operating profit increased by 66 per cent.

New orders exceeded twice the previous year’s quarterly level, pushing the company’s order backlog to a record.

Chief executive Eirik Lie said delivering those orders was the company’s highest priority. He linked the expansion to demand for air defence, missiles and systems designed to counter drones.
