Viscofan (ISIN ES0184262212) was trading at EUR 54.15 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 5:09 p.m. CEST, up 0.65 percent versus the prior close of EUR 53.80. In an analysis dated September 9, 2026, OCU cut its risk rating for the company from 4 to 3.

Risk rating falls from 4 to 3

OCU's assessment followed Viscofan's first-half performance. The analysis said profit increased 2.20 percent to EUR 1.57 per share, while revenue grew 1.80 percent. The figures give the rating change a specific financial basis rather than making it a purely technical adjustment.

The same analysis identified the casing business as the central operating driver, accounting for 94.00 percent of revenue. Volumes sold by weight increased 5.50 percent in the first half, but currency movements and higher raw-material, energy and transportation costs remained relevant factors in the assessment.

First-half growth meets cost pressure

For investors, the combination of volume growth and cost exposure is the key tension in Viscofan's latest reported period. The 5.50 percent volume increase points to demand, while the 1.80 percent revenue increase shows that reported sales grew more slowly than physical volumes.

Viscofan operates in packaging and containers and manufactures artificial casings for meat products, including cellulose, collagen, fibrous and plastic casings. Its primary listing is on BME under ticker VIS, according to Global Banking and Finance Review, which also confirms ISIN ES0184262212.

Stock remains below yearly high

The Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 54.15 stood 13.08 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 62.30 and EUR 5.80 above the 52-week low of EUR 48.35 on October 1, 2026. The reference price implies a market capitalization of EUR 2.5 billion as of the same date.
