The latest company-specific event was a share purchase by Active Ownership Opportunities SCS, reported by finanzen.ch on October 1, 2026.

Three events shaped the stock

On August 13, 2026, HelloFresh published its first-half report, while second-quarter revenue stood at EUR 1.55 billion. On September 24, 2026, EQS News published the profit warning that cut the 2026 revenue outlook to a 9 percent to 11 percent constant-currency decline. On October 1, 2026, finanzen.ch reported that Active Ownership Opportunities SCS bought shares worth EUR 370,196.43 at EUR 2.34 per share.

What does the outlook cut mean for margins?

The September warning made the earnings gap more important than the headline revenue decline. EQS News said adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the third quarter were expected at EUR 45 million to EUR 55 million, below the EUR 57.2 million analyst consensus. For fiscal year 2026, adjusted EBITDA guidance was EUR 350 million to EUR 370 million, below the previous EUR 375 million to EUR 425 million range and the EUR 375.6 million consensus.

The operational comparison is also visible in the latest reported quarter. HelloFresh generated EUR 1.55 billion of revenue and EUR 2.8 million of net income in the second quarter of 2026, after a EUR 55.5 million net loss in the first quarter. That sequential change improves the earnings picture, but the full-year guidance still points to weaker demand and tighter customer-acquisition economics.

Next dates and trading context

HelloFresh plans to publish its third-quarter and first-nine-month results on November 5, 2026, according to HelloFresh. The next report will show whether the EUR 45 million to EUR 55 million adjusted EBITDA range was achieved and whether customer acquisition recovered after the marketing reduction.

At Lang & Schwarz, HelloFresh was trading at EUR 2.56 on October 8, 2026 at 2:42 p.m. CEST, up 5.79 percent versus the prior close of EUR 2.42. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of HelloFresh stock.
