In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 82.50%. It also delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 38.71%.

During the quarter, Freyr Battery is likely to have secured initial buildings of Giga Arctic as well as continued operational progress at the Customer Qualification Plant in Mo i Rana, Norway.

In December 2023, FREY received its shareholders’ approval to redomicile from Luxembourg to the United States. We may expect the upcoming results to offer more insight in this matter.

Higher general and administrative expenses as well as increased research and development costs might have had an adverse impact on the company’s bottom-line performance in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FREY’s fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of 27 cents per share, flat year over year.
