Südzucker

Südzucker recorded a net profit of €61 million in the first half of 2026/27 after a prior-year loss of €60 million. Drivers were higher ethanol prices, a strong specialties business and lower costs; adjusted operating EBITDA rose by around 60% to €303 million. CEO Niels Pörksen reported initial efficiency gains and confirmed the raised targets for the year: revenue of €8.3–8.7 billion and an EBITDA target of €540–680 million. The share briefly fell about 4.7% to €11.82. » More on finanzen.net

Südzucker confirms its forecast for 2026/27 and reports a slightly lower sales volume of €4.19 billion for the first half, with EBITDA rising by over 60% to €303 million and profit after tax of €61 million. The driver was biofuel subsidiary CropEnergies, whose EBITDA climbed to €68 million due to sharply higher fuel prices. The sugar segment remains weighed down with an EBITDA of minus €24 million, as sugar prices continued to fall and capacity underutilization caused idle costs; recovery depends on later price pass-through. » More on finanzen.net

Südzucker closed the first six months of fiscal 2026/27 with a net profit of €61 million after a loss of €60 million in the prior year. Drivers of the earnings upswing were higher ethanol prices, a strong specialties business and lower costs; adjusted EBITDA rose by just over 60% to €303 million. The management board reaffirmed the revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance raised at the end of September — €8.3–8.7 billion in revenue and adjusted EBITDA of €540–680 million — and emphasized progress on efficiency and cost‑reduction measures. » More on deraktionaer.de

Strong Q2 figures, driven by subsidiary Cropenergies and the specialty products division, led to an upward revision of the sales forecast and a narrower, higher Ebitda range for 2026/27. Investors took profits because the new Ebitda forecast (implied midpoint ~€610m) does not rise in line with revenue and lags some estimates. A Barclays analyst sees the announcement as confirmation of a turnaround but criticizes the lack of news on the sugar segment, which dampened the share gains. Chart-wise, the 21-day line at around €12.52 is moving back into focus. » More on finanzen.net

Rising crude oil prices since July have pushed up sugar and biofuel prices, from which Südzucker and its subsidiary CropEnergies are expected to benefit significantly in Q2 2026/27. After a better-than-expected Q1, operating EBITDA increased, while full-year sales are forecast at €8.0–8.4 billion and EBITDA at €480–680 million; an upward clarification toward the top of the range is possible. Weaker year-ago comparatives further favour positive surprises; chart-wise the share is attempting to break the year high around €13. » More on finanzen.net
