Half-year numbers stay weak

According to Yahoo Finance, Verallia's first-half 2026 revenue fell to EUR 400.3 million from EUR 450.2 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA dropped to EUR 17.0 million from EUR 31.6 million, while the margin stood at 4.2 percent.

The same report says second-quarter 2026 revenue reached EUR 197.1 million, down 13.6 percent year on year, after first-quarter margin had already improved sequentially to 21.4 percent from 19.9 percent. For investors, the gap between the weaker top line and the still stable annual EBITDA target of EUR 700 million is the key tension.
