The Trump administration\u2019s suspension of US offshore wind leases hits right at one of \u00d8rsted\u2019s key near term catalysts: rebuilding confidence in its growth pipeline after large share price losses, a stopped dividend and heavy dilution from the roughly DKK 60 billion equity raise. The halted Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind projects increase regulatory and policy risk on top of balance sheet pressure and execution risk in large offshore developments. At the same time, ongoing project wins in Europe and new technology like Osonic show that \u00d8rsted is still securing optionality outside the US. How quickly the US issue is resolved may now be a central driver of sentiment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">However, one particular risk tied to policy reversals could matter more than many investors realise. \u00d8rsted&#8217;s share price has been on the slide but might be dropping deeper into value territory. <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/company\/id\/5033cd2f-f7d1-4a87-a70b-961f065af5e6\/valuation?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4302089\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Find out whether it&#039;s a bargain at this price;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Find out whether it&#8217;s a bargain at this price<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>       <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/company\/id\/5033cd2f-f7d1-4a87-a70b-961f065af5e6?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=infographic&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4302089\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/564480040c76056e66081a513f8a33e8.png\" alt=\"CPSE:ORSTED 1-Year Stock Price Chart\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"664\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/><\/a> CPSE:ORSTED 1-Year Stock Price Chart      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\">Thirteen fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community span from around DKK 59 to above DKK 340, highlighting sharply different expectations.
