[Request] Orsted - ORSTED.CO [DanishšŸ‡©šŸ‡°]

I spotted the news about the contact in the US and it was one of the reasons I jumped on. That plus I needed a place to put some money I’d just taken from Argo Blockchain (with a 60% loss).

Orsted looks as though it’s dropped quite a lot from previous highs but from what I know, it’s the market leader and there’s a hell of a lot of growth still ahead especially in the USA’s grossly underdeveloped offshore wind sector.

Do you get to work offshore? That looks like an absolutely fantastic job to have.

Orsted is about 6.3% of INRG and 1% of IESG, both of which are on Freetrade. Not sure which other etfs hold it - @finki will probably know!

Sounds like a plan and can’t go wrong with Orsted in the long run. The shift they made from DONG energy oil & gas into renewables is market leading.

Yeah I work offshore and have been on a good few Orsted sites. You also get to take some quality pictures every so often and I’m lucky to call this my office…

Pff… never trust an energy company that’s never set the Gulf Of Mexico on fire.

Is Orsted still 51% owned by the Danish government? I’m a huge fan of state capitalism like that, as opposed to the regime in the UK which just sells off the nation’s family silver to the chummiest bidder for short term gain.

Fantastic picture - don’t drop your camera!

Haha…I’m not too sure I know it was mainly state owned when it was DONG Energy but not too sure what stake they have now.

Sound advice and don’t want to drop anything from this height! :grimacing:

The German state of Lower Saxony holds an 11.8% stake in Volkswagen.

Ah thanks! Well I see that as a sign of a good future.

Stop stop… you’re just reminding me how bad the UK government is.

That 11.8% stake comes with 20% of the voting rights via the original VW 1960 privatisation - enough for them to veto major decisions such as plant closures.

They certainly have enough of a plan for me to have invested a fair sum ( not advice :wink: ). Maybe one day I even could even buy them on Freetrade …

With OTCMKTS available I’ve got my fingers crossed for this one.

If it goes live can we get a cool new picture from a turbine somewhere @1471s ?

Sounds like a deal! If we get Orsted I will post another picture no problem. :slight_smile:

This has all the hallmarks of a company about to take a real rise on the markets. I can get it from at least one other trading platform BUT with a hefty commission deduction. PLEASE ADD IT.
It has hit a recent low and as such would be a good time to jump on the bandwagon for anyone looking to invest.

Is there any chance that Orsted A/S will be added to FT shares universe, please?

Orsted is a Denmark-based energy company engaged in procuring, producing, distributing and trading energy and related products in NW Europe.
They operate through 3 segments:

  • Wind Power = development, construction and operations of wind farms;
  • Bioenergy and Thermal Power = generation of electricity and heat from thermal power stations; and
  • Distribution and Customer Solutions = purchase, sale and distribution of energy.

Would love to be able to invest in them via FT! :money_mouth_face::star_struck::zap:

Thanks for the request, it’s always good practice to search before starting a new request (it not immediately clear) as in many cases there is already a request going. Keeping goes and discussions in one places help demonstrate the demand for the Freetrade team for it to be added.

In this case Freetrade don’t currently support the danish exchange but as one of the biggest companies there it’ll be supported

Can any of the FT team advise when it will arrive on the app? I’m really keen to buy and would hold off on some other investments if I thought it would be soon. Thank you

A largely state owned power company and it’s DOWN over these last crazy 12 months?

There can only be one explanation. You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name.

Boris :rofl:

@freetradeteam let us have it plz. It even has an LSE ticker so shouldn’t be too hard

I have Orsted via AJ Hell and they can’t even get the graph or any data working for this stock… and they’re supposed to be an established (and very expensive) broker.
