Neste (ISIN FI0009013296) remains a closely watched Nordic energy-transition name, with its latest reported figures centered on revenue, operating performance and cash generation. The company’s stock context is anchored by the most recent annual and quarterly disclosures available in its investor materials.
Latest reported numbers
Neste reported net sales of EUR 19.6 billion for fiscal 2024, compared with EUR 22.9 billion in fiscal 2023, showing a year-on-year decline of EUR 3.3 billion. It also reported comparable EBITDA of EUR 1.2 billion for 2024, down from EUR 2.6 billion in 2023, while comparable operating profit fell to EUR 905 million from EUR 2.0 billion in the prior year. Those figures frame the pressure on profitability even before the current market debate over refining margins and renewable product demand.
Free cash flow was EUR 1.0 billion in 2024, versus EUR 1.2 billion in 2023, while net debt stood at EUR 2.6 billion at year-end 2024. The combination of lower earnings and still-meaningful leverage gives investors a clear reference point when they compare Neste’s current valuation with its earlier cycle peak.
Margin pressure is the key
The comparison matters because Neste’s 2024 revenue fell 14.4% from the prior year, while comparable EBITDA declined 53.8% and comparable operating profit dropped 54.8%. That scale of change is more useful than a generic sector label, because it shows where the stock now trades against a much softer earnings base than in 2023.
In the company’s own reporting, renewable products and oil products remain the two operating pillars, and the profitability mix between them is what investors tend to track most closely. That makes the margin line more important than headline sales alone, especially after the 2024 earnings reset.
Renewable products still matter
Neste’s renewable products segment remains the company’s most important growth narrative, even when the market focuses on the weaker earnings cycle. The segment is tied to the company’s lower-carbon fuels strategy and to the demand conditions that influence the group’s comparables from quarter to quarter.
For readers following Neste stock, the decisive point is not business-model description but the scale of the earnings base relative to the balance sheet. With EUR 1.2 billion in comparable EBITDA and EUR 2.6 billion in net debt at the end of 2024, the company’s operating recovery path is still the main valuation driver.
As of 23 July 2026
The stock reference point for Neste is best read against the latest available financial figures rather than a single day move. As of 23 July 2026, the shares should be judged by the 2024 base of EUR 19.6 billion in net sales, EUR 1.2 billion in comparable EBITDA and EUR 2.6 billion in net debt, which together define the current operating backdrop.
