On September 23, 2026, Investing.com reported that Ferro's first-half 2026 net profit reached PLN 34.90 million, up from PLN 30.80 million in first-half 2025.
Half-year profit improves
The earnings mix was stronger than the sales line. According to Investing.com, first-half 2026 revenue increased to PLN 373.22 million from PLN 369.57 million, a 0.99 percent gain, while EBITDA rose 28.00 percent to PLN 58.08 million.
Operating profit provided the clearest improvement. It climbed to PLN 48.30 million in first-half 2026 from PLN 36.40 million a year earlier, a 32.69 percent increase, showing that cost control and product mix contributed more than volume growth.
Quarterly profit beats consensus
In the second quarter of 2026, net profit attributable to Ferro shareholders was PLN 14.89 million versus PLN 10.56 million in the prior-year quarter. Second-quarter operating profit reached PLN 20.39 million, compared with PLN 12.03 million a year earlier, while quarterly revenue was PLN 173.66 million versus PLN 173.77 million.
The contrast matters for investors: profitability accelerated even as quarterly sales were virtually unchanged. Ferro's first-half foreign sales reached PLN 225.00 million, representing 60.00 percent of total revenue, while installation fittings generated PLN 125.50 million, up from PLN 117.50 million in first-half 2025, according to Strefa Inwestorow.
