I haven’t seen something like this in my research process. The company seems to be focused on dividends.

As of 3Q 2023:

- TTM CFO is 3004m

- TTM CFI is -2810m

- TTM dividends paid are -1130m

They should cut back on the dividends for a while, especially if they have upcoming capex to increase production by 2025.

They don't have WFT in Norway, but tax rate is crazy high, lowered by capex deductions the next few years after completing a new development: https://twitter.com/_NameValue_/status/1674447158995566592?s=20

Vår is pushing it’s tax rate down by investing a lot of money into new projects, but let’s conservatively assume that all CAPEX is needed to substation the business. Then we get to the following numbers:

~ 1.350 Billion $ CFFO after tax - ~ 650 Million $ CAPEX

= Free Cashflow of 700 Million $ per quarter * 4 = 2.8 Billion $ per year

This is at current prices a Free Cashflow yield of 42% !
