Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Suominen Oyj went into this earnings print as a deeply out of favour stock, trading around €0.696 and down roughly 31% over the past three months despite a sharp 29% rebound over the last month. The long term bear story has been simple: losses, leverage and volatility. The headline from Q2 is that the income statement is still in the red, yet the earnings loss narrowed to €2.953m on €105.602m of sales, with basic earnings per share improving to a €0.03 loss.

Suominen bull case leans on improving earnings path

For investors leaning toward the defensive hygiene story, Suominen offers some support. Revenue in Q2 2026 grew versus Q2 2025 and comparable EBITDA rose from €3.2m to €4.3m, which fits a narrative of better capacity use in everyday essential products. The rights issue brought in €28m and H1 operating cash flow reached breakeven, which points to a gradually firmer financial footing after earlier leverage pressure.

Bear case still anchored in losses and cash strain

The more cautious view also finds backing in these results. Suominen is still loss making at the net level in Q2 2026 and operating cash flow in the quarter declined by €4.5m. Management acknowledges manufacturing bottlenecks, negative sales mix and lagged pricing on oil linked inputs, which underlines how margin sensitive this industrial model remains even as demand looks solid.
