Südzucker stock (ISIN DE0007297004) was trading at EUR 12.19 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 1:36 p.m. CEST, 0.08 percent below the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 12.20. OTP Global Markets kept the stock on its Equity Top Pick List in a research note dated October 12, 2026.
Why the analyst view matters
The positive assessment follows Südzucker's first-half report for fiscal 2026/27. According to Investing.com on October 8, 2026, operating EBITDA reached EUR 303 million, compared with EUR 189 million in the first half of fiscal 2025/26. Revenue stood at EUR 4.19 billion, versus EUR 4.20 billion a year earlier.
The earnings mix remains uneven. Special Products EBITDA rose to EUR 140 million from EUR 115 million, while the Sugar segment narrowed its operating EBITDA loss to EUR 24 million from EUR 46 million, according to the same dated report. The counter-factor is crop risk: drought reduced expected sugar beet yields for the 2026 campaign.
Three dates show the earnings path
Südzucker reported EUR 168 million of second-quarter operating EBITDA on September 28, 2026, up from EUR 93 million a year earlier, according to the company's Südzucker Group. On October 8, 2026, first-half operating EBITDA reached EUR 303 million versus EUR 189 million. On October 12, 2026, OTP Global Markets cited the improved results and retained its Equity Top Pick view while noting the harvest risk.
Which dates come next
The company's investor-relations calendar lists January 14, 2027 for the third-quarter report and April 26, 2027 for preliminary fiscal-year 2026/27 figures, according to Südzucker Group. These dates give investors the next scheduled checkpoints for the higher earnings outlook.
