nedjustert

Nedjustert is a Norwegian adjective used to describe something that has been revised downward from a previous value, forecast, or estimate. It is commonly employed in finance, economics, statistics, and accounting to indicate that a prior figure has been lowered after new information or reassessment.

The term derives from the prefix ned- meaning down and the verb justere, which means to adjust. Nedjustert is the past participle form of the verb nedjustere, and it is used to modify nouns such as forventning, prognose, estimat, or resultat.

In practice, nedjustert is used when reporting revisions. Examples include a company that nedjusterte its earnings forecast, a government projection that was nedjustert after newer data, or statistical releases where previously published numbers were nedjustert to reflect revised inputs. The word is common in news coverage, company disclosures, and regulatory reports, conveying a downward shift rather than a flat decline or stagnation.

Nedjustert has a counterpart in oppjustert, meaning upward adjustment, and in the noun nedjustering, referring to the act or result of making a downward revision. The two terms are part of a broader vocabulary for revisions in data, forecasts, and financial results.
