Raisio Oyj reports Q1 2026 results
Raisio Oyj published its interim financial results for the January‑March 2026 quarter on 12 May 2026. The company’s revenue slipped modestly to €57.5 million from €57.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year, falling short of the consensus estimate of €58.6 million set by FactSet‑collected analysts. Despite the slight decline, operating profit rose to €7.5 million, up from €6.1 million the previous year and exceeding the €6.5 million consensus expectation.
Earnings per share (EPS) reached €0.04, a lift from €0.03 in the same quarter last year and in line with analysts’ forecast of €0.033 EPS. The upward revision of EPS and operating profit signals that Raisio’s cost‑control measures and pricing power have offset the macro‑environmental headwinds.
Market‑wide context
The broader Helsinki market remains in a cautious state amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty, especially with ongoing tensions involving Iran. Oil prices have largely stabilised, but the volatility continues to exert pressure on energy, logistics and packaging costs for food producers. Raisio’s management, led by CEO Pasi Flinkman, has highlighted that the company’s contract structure and ability to pass on necessary price adjustments have mitigated the impact of these external pressures.
In the consumer staples sector, Raisio’s brands—Benecol, Elovena, Sunnuni, Nalle and Benella—continue to perform steadily. The industrial segment, covering fish feed, livestock feed mix and brewery malts, has shown resilient demand, contributing to the stronger operating profit margin.
Forward outlook
Analysts maintain a neutral to slightly bullish stance on Raisio. Five analysts expect the full‑year EPS to remain at €0.150 per share, unchanged from the previous fiscal year, while revenue is projected at €231.7 million versus €224.2 million a year earlier. The consensus anticipates a modest 1.4 % rise in quarterly revenue, consistent with the slight year‑on‑year growth observed in Q1.
Raisio’s market cap sits at €395.8 million and the share price closed at €2.51 on 10 May 2026. The 52‑week high of €2.835 set on 9 February and the 52‑week low of €2.37 on 13 May 2025 illustrate a relatively tight trading range, suggesting limited volatility ahead of the next earnings release.
Given the company’s solid operating performance amid a challenging macro backdrop, Raisio appears positioned to maintain its earnings trajectory through 2026. Investors should watch for any further cost‑pressure developments, particularly in energy and logistics, and the company’s ability to translate price increases into margin expansion.
