Sofina stock steadies after the company reported H1 2026 revenue of CHF 597.8 million, net profit Group share of CHF 79.1 million, and basic earnings per share of CHF 10.43 for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The results showed revenue up 3.1% at current exchange rates and 11.0% at constant exchange rates versus H1 2025, while total cash including financial assets at fair value, net of financial debt, stood at CHF 181.6 million versus CHF 197.9 million at December 31, 2025.
Profit line and balance sheet
The net profit Group share of CHF 79.1 million compared with CHF 70.2 million a year earlier, and profit before tax reached CHF 103.0 million from CHF 95.9 million in H1 2025.
That mix matters because Sofina's reported operating profit was CHF 88.0 million, slightly below CHF 88.2 million in the prior-year half, even as the bottom line moved higher on the stronger financial result.
What the half year says
At current exchange rates, revenue climbed from CHF 580.1 million to CHF 597.8 million, a concrete sign that the portfolio's operating base still expanded in the first half of 2026.
For investors, the contrast between a 3.1% revenue increase and a 14.1% rise in basic EPS to CHF 10.43 is the more important comparison than the headline profit line alone.
Sofina's portfolio angle
Sofina's investment model centers on a diversified portfolio of growth companies, so the half-year cash figure of CHF 181.6 million remains relevant for funding flexibility and new commitments.
The latest reported period also gives the stock a clear benchmark against the prior year, with revenue, profit, and EPS all moving in different directions rather than telling a single-line story.
Price context and close
Sofina's shares trade on Euronext Brussels, and the latest market context should be read alongside the H1 2026 figures above.
As of August 28, 2026, the stock's current quote, market cap, and 52-week range were not supported in the available result set, so the reported half-year numbers carry the main weight for now.
