OSLO, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Norwegian oil firm Aker BP AKRBP.OL on Wednesday said it will raise its quarterly dividend in 2026 by 5% despite an expected decline in output, while its profit for the fourth quarter of last year lagged forecasts.

The group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) fell to $2.07 billion for October-December, from $2.72 billion a year earlier, below the $2.14 billion expected in a company-compiled poll of 16 analysts.
