Eurofins reported a 130.00-basis-point expansion in its adjusted EBITDA margin for the first half of 2026, while adjusted earnings per share grew 29.00 percent. The company published those results on July 23, 2026, according to Eurofins.

Margin gains sharpen the earnings picture
The first-half improvement gives Eurofins a stronger operating base heading into the second half of 2026. The company said adjusted EBITDA margin expansion reached 130.00 basis points, while adjusted earnings per share increased 29.00 percent over the same reporting period. Those figures point to faster profit growth than the headline margin movement alone suggests.
The 2027 margin target
Eurofins maintains an adjusted EBITDA margin objective of 24.00 percent for fiscal year 2027, alongside a long-term average revenue growth objective of 6.50 percent per year. The objectives are part of the company investor materials dated July 23, 2026, which also describe continuing investment in laboratory networks and digital systems.
