D'Ieteren Group (ISIN BE0974259880) is weighing strategic options for Belron minority shareholders, including a potential listing, while the stock was trading at EUR 175.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. CEST. The company said in its September 9, 2026 release that no decision had been made on a specific option or timing, according to D'Ieteren Group.
Belron gives the review weight
The proposal matters because Belron is the group's largest strategic asset. D'Ieteren disclosed that it held 50.30 percent of Belron's fully diluted economic rights in the same release, leaving the group exposed to both the value of the automotive glass business and the structure of any transaction.
Belron generated EUR 3.57 billion of sales in the first half of 2026, up 4.70 percent from the prior year, while D'Ieteren's share of adjusted pretax profit rose 29.00 percent to EUR 308.20 million, Sharecast reported on September 10, 2026.
What do the half-year figures show?
D'Ieteren reported EUR 3,930.60 million in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026, down from EUR 4,052.00 million a year earlier. Net income increased to EUR 256.90 million from EUR 243.80 million, showing that lower sales did not prevent higher earnings, according to Simply Wall St on September 22, 2026.
