Copenhagen – September 29, 2026 -- NKT used its Investor Day 2026 in Karlskrona, Sweden, to unveil a formal capital allocation framework and confirm that commercial operation at its expanded Karlskrona facility will begin in Q2 2027, slightly ahead of the original schedule.
NKT ties cash generation to a four-priority capital allocation framework
The company said it will maintain a robust balance sheet, targeting net interest-bearing debt to operational EBITDA below 0x. Beyond balance-sheet discipline, NKT will direct capital toward organic growth and strategically aligned, value-accretive acquisitions, commit to a minimum annual dividend of 20% of adjusted net profit with an ambition for a stable payout per share, and return excess cash via share buybacks or extraordinary dividends when conditions allow.
