Strategy shifts beyond sugar

A TradingView report on September 25, 2026, said non-sugar activities now account for 70 percent of group revenue. The same presentation described Südzucker as a more diversified multinational after a century of expansion, while also pointing to lower earnings in fiscal year 2025/26.

The strategic shift matters because sugar remains exposed to prices, harvest conditions and trade policy. Südzucker combines sugar with specialty products, CropEnergies, starch and fruit, creating several operating channels rather than a single commodity earnings stream.

EBITDA improves despite lower revenue

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2026/27, covering March 1 through May 31, 2026, The Market Online reported consolidated operating EBITDA of EUR 135 million, up from EUR 96 million in the prior-year quarter. That is an increase of EUR 39 million, even as consolidated revenue declined from EUR 2.1 billion to EUR 2.0 billion.

Finanzen put the Q1 revenue figure at EUR 2.06 billion, down 4.41 percent from EUR 2.15 billion, while EPS improved from a loss of EUR 0.18 to a loss of EUR 0.01. Management guidance for fiscal year 2026/27 calls for revenue of EUR 8.1 billion to EUR 8.5 billion and operating EBITDA of EUR 480 million to EUR 680 million.

Stock stays below yearly high

Südzucker traded between EUR 12.16 and EUR 12.30 during the September 25 session, with volume at 11,295 shares as of 3:03 p.m. CEST. The 52-week range of EUR 8.92 to EUR 13.57 shows that the stock is closer to its yearly high than its low, although the share price still needs a gain of EUR 1.31 to reach that upper mark.
