Published on 09/24/2026 at 22:34 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
The Navigator Company stock is valued at EUR 3.25 on Euronext Lisbon on September 24, 2026, while the company posted first-half net income of EUR 49.1 million. That profit was 42.3 percent below the comparable period of 2025, putting operating resilience at the center of the investment case.
Profit falls in the first half
According to OCU Inversiones, first-half sales declined 14.8 percent from the same period of 2025. EBITDA fell 33.7 percent to EUR 142.5 million, and the EBITDA margin narrowed by 4.8 percentage points to 16.4 percent.
The earnings mix improved during the second quarter after a weak first quarter, with higher paper and pulp prices supporting the recovery. The comparison remains demanding because first-half net income was EUR 49.1 million against a materially stronger prior-year base.
Second quarter sets the checkpoint
Investing.com lists second-quarter 2026 revenue at EUR 442 million, versus a EUR 487 million forecast. The EUR 45 million shortfall gives investors a clearer measure of the pressure facing the business than the share price alone.
The same page lists first-half EBITDA at EUR 143 million, capital expenditure of EUR 127 million and expected full-year 2026 capital expenditure of EUR 220 million. It also identifies October 22, 2026, as the next earnings date, creating a defined checkpoint for the recovery in volumes, pricing and margins.
