Rubis stock (ISIN FR0013269123) was trading at EUR 35.02 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 4:42 p.m. CEST, up EUR 0.09 or 0.26 percent versus the prior close of EUR 34.93. The company raised its 2026 EBITDA guidance on September 8, 2026, as GlobeNewswire reported.

Guidance rises after strong H1

Rubis now expects 2026 EBITDA of EUR 775.00 million to EUR 825.00 million, compared with its previous range of EUR 740.00 million to EUR 790.00 million. The midpoint therefore increased from EUR 765.00 million to EUR 800.00 million, a 4.58 percent rise in the central outlook.

For the first half of 2026, revenue reached EUR 4.1 billion, up 24 percent from EUR 3.3 billion in the first half of 2025. EBITDA climbed 18 percent to EUR 434.00 million from EUR 369.00 million, while net income attributable to the group rose 17 percent to EUR 191.00 million from EUR 163.00 million, according to GlobeNewswire.

Cash flow marks the counterpoint

Adjusted cash flow from operating activities fell 19 percent year over year to EUR 223.00 million in the first half of 2026 from EUR 276.00 million. Rubis attributed the pressure to higher working capital requirements in a high oil price environment, making cash conversion the key counterweight to the earnings upgrade.

The company also reported net financial debt of EUR 1.5 billion at June 30, 2026, up 26 percent from EUR 1.2 billion at December 31, 2025. That balance sheet change gives the upgraded earnings range a more nuanced investor read, especially while demand and margins adjust in the second half.

Analyst view adds valuation context

Edison Investment Research said on September 11, 2026, that stronger first-half volumes and margins supported higher estimates, while its revised DCF valuation reached EUR 45.20 per share from EUR 42.00. The research also highlighted oil prices as a sensitivity for demand and working capital.
