Mondi stock was last at GBp 788.20 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. London time, down 1.15 percent from GBp 797.40. The share price fell below its 200-day average of GBp 797.37 as investors weighed weaker first-half earnings and persistent input costs.

H1 figures show earnings pressure

In the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue declined to EUR 1.10 billion from EUR 1.14 billion in H1 2025, while adjusted EBITDA fell to EUR 168 million from EUR 224 million, according to Mondi. The figures point to a sharper earnings contraction than the top-line change alone suggests, with adjusted EBITDA down EUR 56 million year over year.

The company describes its H1 performance as progress on actions aimed at strengthening performance, cash generation and competitiveness. For investors, the key test is whether packaging price increases can offset higher energy, wood and chemical costs in the second half.

Analysts see recovery but costs remain

As Yahoo Finance reported on September 25, 2026, Jefferies expects third-quarter EBITDA of EUR 205 million, up from EUR 167 million in the second quarter. The broker kept a Buy rating but lowered its price target from GBp 1,085 to GBp 1,080.

MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus based on two Buy and two Hold ratings, with an average target of GBp 936.25. That target lies 18.8 percent above the GBp 788.20 reference price, creating a quantified gap between recovery expectations and the current market level.

Q3 update sets the next test

Yahoo Finance reports that Mondi is scheduled to publish its third-quarter trading update on October 15, 2026. The update should show whether higher containerboard and sack paper prices are beginning to outweigh the cost headwinds identified in the first half.

Stock trades below yearly midpoint

Mondi stock stands at GBp 788.20 on the LSE, with a 52-week range of GBp 660 to GBp 981.40 and market capitalization of GBP 3.5 billion as of October 2, 2026. Trading volume was 1,183,626 shares, leaving the stock below its 200-day average while the upcoming Q3 update provides the next dated operating checkpoint.
