UPM forecasts H2 2026 comparable EBIT from continuing operations of €375-575 million
Bitget2026/10/28 10:38- UPM expects H2 2026 comparable EBIT from continuing operations of €375 million–€575 million, excluding Plywood.
- That compares with €479 million in H2 2025 and €471 million in H1 2026.
- Second-half delivery volumes are expected to decline from the first half; moderately higher selling prices should partly offset rising variable costs.
- Q3 comparable EBIT fell 8% to €131 million as customer destocking reduced deliveries and variable costs increased.
- Leuna’s integrated production is delayed six months to Q2 2027, with nominal capacity expected in early 2028, a prerequisite for positive EBIT.
