How NKT earns its revenue

NKT generates most of its revenue from the production and installation of high-voltage and medium-voltage power cables for onshore and offshore grid projects. The company combines manufacturing with turnkey project execution, including design, engineering and installation services.

Orders typically come from transmission system operators and utilities in Europe and other regions, where NKT competes with peers such as Nexans and Prysmian in large-scale cable tenders. Long project cycles and framework agreements create multi-year revenue visibility when contracts are signed.

Energy transition drives cable demand

Grid expansion for offshore wind and interconnectors is a central demand driver for NKT's cable portfolio, as documented by sector reports from analysts at houses such as Goldman Sachs and UBS. Investments in renewable generation require stronger transmission networks and higher capacity connections.

European policy initiatives to accelerate cross-border electricity flows, including projects of common interest within the EU, support long-term cable demand. This environment benefits established suppliers that can deliver certified high-voltage technology at industrial scale.

The product behind the stock

NKT's representative product line is high-voltage submarine power cables used to connect offshore wind farms to onshore grids. These cable systems are supplied with accessories such as joints and terminations and can be installed using NKT's own cable-laying vessels.
