Delta Sugar stock (ISIN EGS30201C015) stood at EGP 55.24 on the Egyptian Exchange on September 27, 2026, down 3.17 percent on the session. The latest financial review provides the central explanation for the weak tone: net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026, fell 85 percent year over year to EGP 183.912 million, according to Youm7 on September 26, 2026.

H1 profit falls 85 percent

The decline was tied to weaker gross profitability during the January to June period. Gross profit reached EGP 636 million, a 5 percent year-over-year decline, according to the same report, while the review also highlighted inventory and liquidity pressure during the first half.

The report said only 27 percent of the sugar available for sale had been contracted by June 30, 2026. That operating detail matters because slower sales can keep working capital tied up even when production assets remain active.

Market value reaches EGP 8.2 billion

Delta Sugar had a market capitalization of EGP 8.2 billion on September 27, 2026, while its EGP 55.24 share price was down 3.17 percent on the day. The stock's year-to-date performance was listed at a gain of 20.9 percent on the same market snapshot, creating a clear contrast between the year's performance and the latest earnings pressure.

Delta Sugar's own website describes a product portfolio spanning white sugar, cube sugar, refined sugar, molasses and dried beet pulp. That mix gives the company exposure to several revenue streams, but the first-half figures show that production breadth did not prevent a sharp decline in reported profitability.

Delta Sugar stock stays tied to execution

Delta Sugar stock stood at EGP 55.24 on the Egyptian Exchange as of September 27, 2026, with a daily change of minus 3.17 percent. For investors, the next major test is whether contracted sales and inventory management improve enough to stabilize margins after the 85 percent first-half profit decline.
