Lotus Bakeries stock drops after Bernstein cuts rating
Published on 09/03/2026 at 13:47 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Lotus Bakeries (BE0003604155) stock fell 4.21 percent to EUR 12,300 on September 2, 2026, in Brussels trade, after a rating cut from Bernstein reached investors. Investing.com said Lotus Bakeries was among the biggest losers on the BEL 20, which closed down 0.08 percent.
Brussels close sets the tone
The move came after the BEL 20 ended the session at 0.08 percent lower and Lotus Bakeries finished at EUR 12,300, down EUR 540.00 on the day. That puts the share price back near a level that now matters more than the headline move itself.
For investors, the combination of a 4.21 percent drop and a EUR 540.00 decline is the clearest market signal in the session. The stock also stayed inside a weaker Brussels tape, where falling shares outnumbered advancing ones 54 to 34.
Latest figures still matter
Lotus Bakeries reported full-year 2025 revenue of EUR 1.23 billion and net profit of EUR 133.1 million, both up from 2024. The group also said 2025 EBITDA reached EUR 221.9 million, which shows how much operating cash generation still anchors the valuation.
That 2025 revenue and profit base is the most recent reported fundamental picture available from the company, and it gives the market move a larger backdrop than the one-day selloff alone. On that basis, the 4.21 percent drop stands out as a sentiment event rather than a change in the business model.

The next step for the stock is whether the market keeps focusing on valuation after the Bernstein cut and the 2025 base numbers.
Lotus Bakeries snacks
Lotus Bakeries is best known for Biscoff biscuits and spread, the consumer product line that keeps the group tied to a premium snack category. That product base supports the 2025 revenue of EUR 1.23 billion and the EUR 221.9 million EBITDA profile the market is now measuring against.
Price after the close
As of September 2, 2026, Lotus Bakeries ended at EUR 12,300 on the Brussels market. The session move was a loss of 4.21 percent, or EUR 540.00.
