Ferro (ISIN PLFERRO00016) was trading at EUR 7.21 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, at 6:22 p.m. CEST, up 0.14 percent versus the prior close of EUR 7.20. The company reported a stronger first-half profit profile on September 23, 2026, with operating earnings rising faster than sales.

Profit growth outpaces sales

According to Investing.com on September 23, 2026, Ferro generated PLN 34.9 million in consolidated net income in the first half of 2026, up 13.3 percent from PLN 30.8 million in the comparable period. Revenue increased 1.0 percent to PLN 373.2 million from PLN 369.6 million.

The sharper improvement came from operations. Operating profit rose 32.8 percent to PLN 48.3 million from PLN 36.4 million, while earnings per share increased to PLN 1.63 from PLN 1.44, according to the same first-half report carried by Investing.com.

Margins carry the result

Stockd wrote on September 25, 2026, that Ferro's first-half EBIT margin reached 12.9 percent and its net margin reached 9.3 percent. The figures point to improved profitability rather than a sales-led expansion, since revenue growth was 1.0 percent while operating profit growth was 32.8 percent.

Cash flow also strengthened. Operating cash flow reached PLN 76.5 million in the first half of 2026, compared with negative PLN 11.8 million a year earlier, according to Investing.com. That change gives the earnings improvement a second dimension, although cash conversion also reflects working-capital movements.
