Half-year 2026 NAV moves higher
In its overview of the first half of 2026, Sofina reports that net asset value (NAV) on a look-through basis reached 11,534 million EUR as of June 30, 2026, compared with 10,843 million EUR at December 31, 2025, according to the half-year 2026 documentation shared via MarketScreener. This corresponds to an increase of around 691 million EUR in NAV over the six-month period, reflecting positive valuation movements and investment activity across Sofina's portfolio. Net asset value per share rose from 305.77 EUR at the end of 2025 to 326.48 EUR at the end of June 2026, as underlined by coverage on Beursduivel. That move represents an increase of about 6.8 percent over the half-year, signaling a return to growth after prior periods of more volatile performance.
