Ibersol (ISIN PTIBS0AM0008) reported net profit from continued operations of negative EUR 0.1 million for the first half of 2026, down from EUR 1.6 million a year earlier, according to Quartr on September 18, 2026. The result gives Ibersol stock a clear earnings question even as sales continued to expand.

Revenue growth meets thinner profits

Turnover rose 5.40 percent to EUR 260.0 million in the first half of 2026, compared with EUR 246.7 million in the same period of 2025, Quartr reported. Like-for-like growth reached 4.40 percent, showing that the increase was not limited to the group's reported restaurant footprint.

EBITDA increased to EUR 59.0 million from EUR 57.1 million, but the EBITDA margin declined to 22.70 percent from 23.10 percent. Operating income reached EUR 8.9 million, up EUR 2.2 million year over year, while the net financial result deteriorated to negative EUR 9.1 million as lease interest increased.

Restaurant expansion adds volume

Ibersol's operating base also expanded during the first half. The company added 10 KFC restaurants in Galicia, and restaurant sales grew 6.00 percent, according to Quartr's summary of the period.

That combination matters for the earnings picture: revenue growth and a larger network supported operating income, but financing costs and a lower margin left little conversion into bottom-line profit. For investors, the comparison between EUR 260.0 million of turnover and negative EUR 0.1 million of continued-operations profit is the central operating tension.
