Metso stock (ISIN FI0009014575) closed at EUR 16.93 on Nasdaq Helsinki on October 2, 2026, gaining 2.86 percent in the session. The next company checkpoint is the January to September interim report scheduled for October 22, 2026, according to Metso.

Q2 orders rose 18 percent

Metso entered the final quarter before that report with a strong operating comparison. In Q2 2026, group orders increased 18 percent year over year to EUR 1.462 billion, while sales increased 6 percent, according to the company's earnings-call transcript published by Yahoo Finance on July 24, 2026.

The profitability comparison was also positive. Adjusted EBITA increased from EUR 183 million to EUR 221 million, and the adjusted EBITA margin reached 16.6 percent in Q2 2026, while earnings per share from continuing operations stood at EUR 0.15, the transcript said.

Aftermarket supports margins

Minerals provided the main operating support. Minerals orders increased 21 percent organically to EUR 1.129 billion, while aftermarket sales represented 68 percent of segment sales and adjusted EBIT reached EUR 182 million at an 18.3 percent margin, according to the same Yahoo Finance transcript.

That mix matters for the October report because service revenue generally converts the installed equipment base into recurring demand. Management also described the market outlook as unchanged for the following six months in the Q2 call, while noting that smaller equipment orders can remain uneven from quarter to quarter.

Analysts see limited upside

The published consensus is constructive but restrained. MarketScreener lists an Outperform mean consensus from 20 analysts and an average target price of EUR 17.88. Against the October 2 close, that target is 5.6 percent above the stock price.
