Ackermans & van Haaren stock (ISIN BE0003764785) was trading at EUR 259.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:34 a.m. CEST. The investment group had announced on October 19, 2026, that it agreed to raise its stake in Van Moer Logistics to 39.77 percent, according to MarketScreener.

Investment expands the portfolio

The agreement was made through AvH Growth Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary, and gives Ackermans a larger position in an integrated logistics provider. Van Moer Logistics operates across multimodal transport, port and inland-waterway logistics, warehousing, freight forwarding and on-site logistics, the announcement said.

The targeted 39.77 percent holding remains below a majority stake. That structure keeps the transaction within Ackermans' broader strategy of building positions across marine engineering, private banking, real estate, energy and resources.

What does earnings momentum add?

The latest operating backdrop is stronger than the transaction alone suggests. For the first half of 2026, net profit reached EUR 339.6 million, up 24.00 percent from the first half of 2025, while revenue stood at EUR 3.03 billion and was broadly flat year over year, according to Simply Wall St. Ackermans also raised its full-year 2026 net profit outlook to growth of more than 10.00 percent.

Three dates frame the story

On October 19, 2026, the group announced the Van Moer agreement targeting 39.77 percent.

Next reporting date

The next substantiated date is November 16, 2026, when Ackermans is scheduled to publish third-quarter 2026 results, according to MarketScreener.
