Ackermans & van Haaren stock stood at EUR 270.20 on Euronext Brussels at 1:09 p.m. BST on September 24, 2026, down 0.07 percent from EUR 270.40. The company enters the final months of 2026 with a raised earnings outlook after reporting EUR 339.6 million in first-half net profit, an increase of 24 percent.
Profit growth resets the outlook
GlobeNewswire reported on August 28, 2026, that Ackermans & van Haaren generated EUR 339.6 million in net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The result was 24 percent higher than in the comparable period, giving the group a concrete earnings base for its upgraded full-year target.
The same August 28 release put net cash at EUR 524.4 million and said full-year 2026 net profit is expected to increase by more than 10 percent. That combination matters because the outlook is supported by both operating earnings and balance-sheet flexibility.
Analyst targets remain above the quote
In its August 28, 2026 market coverage, MarketScreener said ING retained a hold rating with a EUR 300 12-month target, while KBC maintained a buy rating with a EUR 320 target. Both targets were above the EUR 270.20 Euronext Brussels quote recorded on September 24, 2026.
The market picture therefore combines a 24 percent first-half profit increase with a share price up 16.47 percent since January in the cited September 24 snapshot. For investors, the key test is whether the more than 10 percent full-year profit outlook can translate into further portfolio earnings without weakening the group's cash position.
