Ackermans & van Haaren (BE0003764755) raised its 2026 net profit outlook to growth of more than 10.00 percent after first-half net profit rose 24.00 percent to EUR 339.60 million, as IT Boltwise reported on September 2, 2026. The higher target gives the investment group a stronger earnings benchmark for the second half of the year.
Profit growth resets 2026 bar
The first-half result compares with net profit of about EUR 274.00 million in the prior-year period, a 24.00 percent increase. Finimize said the improvement reflected stronger contributions from core holdings and a recovery in the Growth Capital unit.
The guidance change matters because it links the portfolio result to a full-year target rather than treating the first-half advance as a one-period effect. Finimize also reported that Berenberg kept its Buy rating and retained a EUR 330.00 price target, leaving the analyst view dependent on the durability of higher earnings.
Portfolio breadth supports results
Ackermans & van Haaren describes its portfolio as a collection of strategic participations with growth potential. Its businesses span marine engineering and contracting, private banking, real estate and senior care, energy and resources, and AvH Growth Capital, according to the Ackermans & van Haaren investor page.
The company reported pro forma turnover of EUR 7.7 billion, net result of EUR 593.0 million and net cash of EUR 429.0 million for 2025. Those figures provide historical scale for the 2026 profit update, while the first-half result supplies the newer measure of operating momentum.
Market value sets the frame
On October 1, 2026, Ackermans had a market capitalization of EUR 8.5 billion on Euronext Brussels. Its 52-week range stood at EUR 208.20 to EUR 300.20, placing the current valuation between a documented yearly low and high and giving the revised profit outlook a clear market-value reference.
