PROFILE
Ludvik Gudbrandsen
Economics student, investor and project lead.
I run Gudbrandsen Holding AS alongside my bachelor's degree in economics and business administration. The company is the framework around my own investments, company analysis and selected business projects.
I build independent financial models and analyses based on company reporting and other primary sources. In my research work I use Excel, among other tools, for scenario analysis and valuation. AI is used to find and structure information and to build digital work tools, while key figures, assumptions and conclusions are checked by me.
Background and studies
I am studying for a bachelor's degree in economics and business administration at Oslo Nye Høyskole. Started August 2025, with expected completion in June 2028. Current GPA is 4.1 out of 5.0, with A grades in courses including financial accounting and mathematics for economists.
