NOS stock (ISIN PTZON0AM0006) was trading at EUR 5.43 on Euronext Lisbon on October 7, 2026, up 0.46 percent from the prior close, with a market capitalization of EUR 2.8 billion. The latest company figures show a sharper rise in profit than in revenue, making cost control and cash generation central to the next update.

Profit growth outpaces revenue

According to Simply Wall St, NOS reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 458.3 million, unchanged from the second quarter of 2025. Net income reached EUR 77.5 million, a 34 percent increase, while EPS rose to EUR 0.15 from EUR 0.11.

The contrast is material for investors: flat sales produced double-digit earnings growth. The same Q2 report showed profit margin at 17 percent, compared with 13 percent in the year-earlier quarter, indicating that earnings quality currently depends more on efficiency than on top-line expansion.

Cash flow sets the next test

XTB reported that Q2 EBITDA rose 1.5 percent to EUR 206 million, while capital expenditure fell 8.2 percent and free cash flow increased 120 percent to EUR 83.3 million. That combination gives the margin improvement a cash-flow dimension, although stable revenue leaves less room for execution errors.

The company operates across telecommunications and entertainment, with fiber, mobile, business technology and audiovisual activities. The operational question for the next quarter is whether lower investment intensity and cost discipline can continue to lift earnings while customer and pricing dynamics remain competitive.
