KEMIRA

Kemira has issued a profit warning and lowered its outlook for 2026; the company now expects revenue of €2.6–3.0 billion and operating EBITDA of €400–500 million. The reason cited is higher raw material and logistics costs linked to the conflict in Iran. Previously Kemira missed Q1 consensus (EPS €0.29 vs. ~€0.32); revenue and operating EBITDA fell year‑on‑year, causing margin pressure. Analyst downgrades and a weak market environment intensified selling pressure; the stock fell intraday by 7.3% to €15.29 and reached a 52-week low. » Mais em de.investing.com

Kemira reports a 4% revenue decline in Q1 2026 to 677 million EUR and organic growth of -3%. Operating EBITDA fell to 117.3 million EUR, the EBITDA margin dropped to 17.3%, and earnings per share declined 24% to 0.29 EUR. Main reasons are weak demand, negative currency effects and rising raw material and logistics costs; management responded with price increases and cost-cutting measures. The balance sheet and operating cash flow remained robust, two acquisitions were announced, and the 2026 full-year guidance is unchanged. » Mais em de.investing.com

Kemira reported an 8% sales decline for Q4 2025 and earnings per share of €1.18 versus €1.61 a year earlier. The stock fell about 5% in premarket trading, although the operating EBITDA margin remained robust above 19%. For 2026 the company forecasts revenue of €2.6–3.0 billion and operating EBITDA of €470–570 million, plans to focus on strategic acquisitions, innovation and sustainability investments, and warns of ongoing market weakness particularly in the pulp, paper and industrial water sectors. » Mais em de.investing.com
