Fourlis (ISIN GRS096003009) was trading at EUR 3.87 on Euronext Athens at 5:16 p.m. EEST on October 5, 2026, down 0.13 percent from the prior close. The same day, Euro2day published a Fourlis share buyback announcement, adding a capital-allocation item to the investment case.

Buyback meets a transition year

Fourlis reported EUR 284.0 million of sales for the first half of 2026, an increase of 7.6 percent from EUR 264.0 million in the same period of 2025, according to the company presentation published on October 2, 2026. The figure reflects continuing commercial growth even as the group absorbs expansion and restructuring costs.

The profitability picture is less straightforward. H1 2026 EBIT was negative at EUR 1.6 million, compared with EUR 6.0 million in H1 2025, while reported EBITDA fell to EUR 27.7 million from EUR 30.8 million; the gross profit margin was 46.7 percent versus 47.9 percent a year earlier, according to Fourlis.

Sales growth carries the guidance

Management kept its FY 2026 sales guidance at EUR 645 million, representing 8.6 percent growth, with EBIT guidance of EUR 15 million to EUR 17 million and a gross profit margin of 46.5 percent. The guidance includes EUR 10.7 million of one-off transformation and reorganization costs, making cost execution the central counter-factor to the sales trend.

The company presentation also reports EUR 49.35 million of cash from the Sofia South Ring Mall disposal and identifies EUR 9.1 million of annual recurring benefits from 2027. Fourlis said EUR 7.3 million of those benefits had been secured by the time of the October presentation, which gives the buyback story a balance-sheet and efficiency dimension rather than a purely financial-engineering angle.

Consensus target stays above price

MarketScreener lists a Buy consensus from 5 analysts, an average target of EUR 5.575, a high target of EUR 5.800 and a low target of EUR 5.300 on its Fourlis consensus page. The average target lies 44.1 percent above the EUR 3.87 price on October 5, 2026, although the consensus figures and the current market price come from different dates and should not be treated as a single-session valuation.
