D'Ieteren Group (ISIN BE0974259880) was trading at EUR 162.50 on Euronext Brussels on October 7, 2026, with a market capitalization of EUR 8.5 billion. The latest reported figures show Belron offsetting a sharp decline in the automotive business. For investors, the portfolio split matters more than the modest intraday move of 0.25 percent.
H1 profit rises despite divergence
According to MarketScreener on September 9, 2026, adjusted profit before tax attributable to the group rose 6.6 percent to EUR 482.4 million in the first half of 2026, from EUR 452.4 million in the first half of 2025. The company also confirmed its 2026 outlook for low to mid-single-digit growth in adjusted profit before tax at constant exchange rates.
The comparison is uneven across the portfolio. Belron's adjusted profit before tax increased 28.6 percent to EUR 308.2 million, while D'Ieteren Automotive's result fell 66.6 percent to EUR 36.4 million, according to the same September 9 results publication from MarketScreener.
Belron remains the earnings engine
Belron's adjusted operating margin reached 23.0 percent in H1 2026, compared with 21.4 percent in H1 2025. D'Ieteren Automotive moved in the opposite direction, with sales down 10.8 percent to EUR 2.269 billion and its adjusted operating margin at 2.1 percent.
The group generated EUR 539.0 million in trading cash flow during the first half, an increase of 12.0 percent year over year, while free cash flow was negative EUR 4.1 million. That mix gives Belron a central role in supporting the holding company's confirmed full-year outlook.
Belron options add strategic value
In a company release dated September 9, 2026, D'Ieteren Group said Belron's minority shareholders were evaluating strategic options, including a potential listing. The release said that no decision had been made on a specific option or its timing, while D'Ieteren reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Belron.
That strategic review sits alongside the earnings contrast: Belron contributed EUR 308.2 million of adjusted profit before tax in H1, versus EUR 36.4 million from D'Ieteren Automotive. The figures make the glass-repair business the clearest operating support for the group while automotive remains the main counter-factor.
