What believers are saying

  • H1 2026 revenue rose 8.0% to €1.844 billion, with EBITDA margin reaching 15.6%.
  • Net leverage fell to 2.2x by June 2026, improving balance-sheet flexibility.
  • Management says supply-chain actions offset resin and energy inflation across H1 2026.

What critics are saying
