Cinkarna Celje stock (ISIN SI0031103805) was last at EUR 28.90 on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, unchanged during the session. The company picture is defined by weaker first-half earnings, with revenue down 6 percent to EUR 104.5 million and net income down 28 percent to EUR 8.8 million in H1 2026.

Half-year profit drops to EUR 8.8 million

Naborzi reported that Cinkarna Celje revenue declined 6 percent to EUR 104.5 million in the first six months of 2026. EBITDA fell 20 percent to EUR 18.2 million, while net income decreased 28 percent to EUR 8.8 million.

The report attributed the pressure to weaker titanium dioxide prices and higher strategic raw-material costs. The comparison matters because the earnings decline was steeper than the revenue decline, pointing to operating pressure rather than a simple change in sales volume.

Analysts see EUR 35.90 value

According to Investing.com, two analysts rate Cinkarna Celje Buy. Their average 12-month price target is EUR 35.90, with a high target of EUR 36.00 and a low target of EUR 35.80.

The average target lies 24.2 percent above the October 7 price of EUR 28.90. That gap gives the stock a clear valuation checkpoint, but the H1 figures show why the market still has to weigh recovery in titanium dioxide prices against cost pressure.

Stock remains below yearly high

Cinkarna Celje had a market capitalization of EUR 233.5 million on October 7, 2026, based on 8,079,770 shares, while trading volume was 494 shares. Its 52-week range was EUR 27.00 to EUR 35.70, leaving the stock EUR 6.80 below the yearly high and EUR 1.90 above the low.

For investors, the central comparison is between the unchanged EUR 28.90 price and the weaker H1 earnings profile. The next valuation signal is whether margins improve as the company faces the titanium dioxide market and raw-material costs.
