Kemira stock (ISIN FI0009004824) stood at EUR 17.32 on Nasdaq Helsinki on September 24, 2026, down 0.52 percent for the session. The Finnish chemicals group reported Q2 2026 revenue of EUR 693.0 million and an operative EBITDA margin of 16.1 percent in its half-year report published July 17, 2026.

Q2 margin came under pressure

According to Kemira, revenue in April through June 2026 stayed at the previous year's level as acquisition-driven volume growth offset softer demand. The company said higher raw material and logistics costs weighed on profitability, leaving the operative EBITDA margin at 16.1 percent.

The margin was 3.0 percentage points below Kemira's 19.1 percent operative EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2025. That comparison matters because the Q2 revenue base held at EUR 693.0 million while cost pressure reduced the amount converted into operating earnings.

Water strategy meets new materials

Kemira describes water-intensive industries and the fiber sector as its core customer markets, while its long-term strategy aims to double water-related revenue. The company reported total revenue of EUR 2.8 billion in fiscal year 2025, compared with EUR 2.9 billion in fiscal year 2024, according to Kemira.

Kemira also started pilot production of iron phosphate at its Helsingborg facility in September 2026. The project moves the company beyond its established water and fiber chemistry activities into battery materials, although the Q2 figures show that near-term profitability remains tied to demand and input costs.

Stock remains below yearly high

The EUR 17.32 reference price on Nasdaq Helsinki was 19.3 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 21.46 and EUR 2.03 above the 52-week low of EUR 15.29 on September 24, 2026. Kemira's market capitalization stood at EUR 2,507,548,378 on the same date, giving investors a market-based measure of the gap between the current quote and the year's upper trading level.
