I don't know where you're getting that number but it's definitely wrong. Their most profitable year so far was 2021, and they made $39.4 billion for the entire year. Source
You also have to consider how much of that profit is from operating in Norway.
So assuming things haven't changed too much for them, this is about 1%. Barely noticeable.
No, it's 0.1%. But Norway could be less than 1% of their market, so it's somewhat significant.
Ah. Got that number from a Google search. Thanks for telling me.
