The energy company Ørsted has experienced a significant drop in share price in recent years. Nevertheless, the company remains one of the most popular stocks among Danish investors. At both Nordnet and Saxo Bank, Ørsted is in third place among the most owned shares among Danes. Only Novo Nordisk and Vestas are higher on the list. At Nordnet, the number of Danes with Ørsted shares has also increased from 43,300 to 46,700 in the past year. This is reported by TV Syd.
The Ørsted share peaked in 2021, but since then the price has fallen by around 80 percent. At the same time, the company has lost several hundred billion. DKK in market value. The Danish state owns 50.1 percent of Ørsted and has thus also felt the drop in value. In the autumn of 2025, the state also shot 30 billion. kr. into the energy company.
Ørsted has been challenged for several years and has, among other things, lost billions of kr. on several offshore wind projects. The problems have been particularly linked to projects in the USA, where political conditions have also affected development. However, the company has been allowed to resume work on offshore wind projects in the country.
