Aker Solutions, a major energy services company, just posted some solid numbers for the second quarter—revenue jumped 18% to 15.2 billion Norwegian kroner (about $1.4 billion). The boost comes from higher activity across their projects, signaling strong demand in the energy sector.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a win for Aker—it’s a sign that energy-related businesses are humming along despite broader economic wobbles. If companies like this keep cashing in on big projects, it could mean more jobs, investment, and maybe even a steadier energy market. For investors, it’s a reassuring nod that some sectors are still thriving.
