Wärtsilä stock (ISIN FI0009003727) traded at EUR 29.34 on OMXH Helsinki on September 25, 2026, up EUR 0.57 or 1.98 percent from the previous close of EUR 28.77. The move gives investors a current market signal while the company builds on a stronger second quarter.

Orders set a higher bar

According to Wärtsilä, April to June 2026 order intake reached EUR 2,849 million, an increase of 33 percent from EUR 2,140 million in the comparable period. Organic order intake growth was 43 percent, while the book-to-bill ratio rose to 1.83 from 1.34.

The composition matters. Marine and Energy combined order intake increased 45 percent to EUR 2,813 million, but service order intake declined 4 percent to EUR 882 million, leaving the quarter with both expansion and a clear area to monitor.

Margin improvement supports earnings

Wärtsilä reported net sales of EUR 1,559 million for April to June 2026, compared with EUR 1,594 million in the year-earlier period. Despite the lower reported base, comparable operating profit increased 7 percent to EUR 218 million from EUR 203 million, and the comparable margin improved to 14.0 percent from 12.7 percent.

The reported operating result reached EUR 209 million, up 14 percent from EUR 183 million, while operating cash flow increased to EUR 497 million from EUR 416 million. The figures make profitability and cash conversion more important than headline sales growth for assessing the next phase of the cycle.

Analyst target remains above price

A September 17 overview published by MarketScreener showed a HOLD consensus from 17 analysts and an average target price of EUR 32.94. That target lies 12.27 percent above the September 25 price, keeping the valuation discussion tied to the companys ability to convert its order momentum into sustained margins.

Stock stays below yearly high

Wärtsilä traded between EUR 29.05 and EUR 29.47 during the September 25 session. Its 52-week range was EUR 24.36 to EUR 40.75, so the current price remained EUR 11.41, or 28.00 percent, below the yearly high.
