Vapores lost USD 132.6 million in the first half of 2026, versus a USD 130.0 million profit in the first half of 2025, according to La Tercera on September 30, 2026. The result puts the company's exposure to Hapag-Lloyd at the center of the investment case.

Losses reflect Hapag-Lloyd exposure

CSAV holds a 30 percent stake in Hapag-Lloyd, and its chairman said the weaker first half reflected volatility in container freight rates. He also said the second quarter was better than the first and expected improved results in the second half, while Hapag-Lloyd's earnings before interest and taxes outlook stood at USD 1.2 billion to USD 1.75 billion, La Tercera reported.

The comparison with the prior-year profit is the key measure for investors. It shows how sharply earnings can change when freight rates move through the group's main investment.

What comes next for earnings?

The company's investor page lists August 28, 2026 as the publication date for its second-quarter report, CSAV shows. The next earnings date is November 20, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.
