Kofola (ISIN CZ0009000121) was trading at EUR 20.93 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 11:32 a.m. CEST, unchanged from the prior close of EUR 20.93. On September 15, 2026, the beverage group announced that it would acquire a 51% stake in Chachar catering, according to Kofola.

Chachar expands the gastronomy strategy

The target company develops the Chacharova Hasicarna and Chacharova pizza franchise concepts. Kofola can increase its stake to 100% after the transaction, with settlement expected by the end of 2026, Fio banka reported on September 16, 2026.

The acquisition broadens Kofola's exposure beyond packaged drinks and adds a hospitality distribution channel. Fio analyst Jan Raska described the deal as a smaller acquisition that could create synergies by placing Kofola products in the restaurant network, according to Fio banka.

Summer sales support the outlook

Kofola delivered second-quarter revenue of CZK 3.20 billion, up 8.00 percent year over year, while EBITDA, a measure of operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, rose 16.00 percent to CZK 594.00 million, according to the Prague Stock Exchange on September 11, 2026.

The same report said July revenue rose 8.00 percent and August revenue increased 13.00 percent. Kofola maintained its full-year EBITDA outlook at CZK 1.80 billion to CZK 1.90 billion and retained its 10.00 percent revenue-growth goal including acquisitions, according to the Prague Stock Exchange.

Debt target is the counterweight

Acquisition spending is also changing the balance-sheet picture. Kofola raised its expected year-end net debt-to-EBITDA ratio to 3.50 times from 3.00 times, a 0.50-times increase, while analysts cited higher interest and acquisition costs as offsets to the strong operating result, according to the Prague Stock Exchange.
