Aker ASA ( (AKAAF) ) just unveiled an update.

Aker ASA has become one of the largest shareholders in Nscale Global Holdings Ltd. by acquiring a 9.3% stake through a USD 285 million investment in Nscale’s oversubscribed Series B funding round. This strategic move positions Aker to benefit from long-term value creation and potential public market gains, with the possibility of increasing its stake to 12.2% through future earn-outs. The Aker-Nscale joint venture, expected to close in Q4, will see both companies holding equal ownership, with the potential for Aker’s stake to convert into additional Nscale shares at a future IPO. This collaboration underscores Aker’s commitment to industrial relevance in the AI age, with OpenAI and Microsoft as initial customers.

The most recent analyst rating on (AKAAF) stock is a Sell with a NOK565.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aker ASA stock, see the AKAAF Stock Forecast page.
