Kemira stock slips after a $2.42 billion market cap snapshot
Published on 08/18/2026 at 15:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Kemira Oyj (FI0009004824) is trading at €17.17 and carries a €2.42 billion market cap, while its 52-week range stands at €16.15 to €21.28. The shares were last shown at 17.30 euros on Tradegate with a year-to-date move of -10.12% in the latest market snapshot.
On the operating side, the latest reported quarter was Q2 2026, with revenue of €693.0 million, EBITDA of €115.1 million and net income of €37.0 million. Revenue rose 1.0% year over year, and EBITDA advanced 0.9% in the same comparison, which gives investors a cleaner read on the margin trend than the share-price noise.
Q2 2026 still anchors the story
The most recent half-year reporting cycle also pointed to a company that is still producing cash and earnings, even as growth stays restrained. Kemira's Q2 2026 gross profit was €72.1 million, gross margin was 10.4%, and free cash flow was €17.9 million, according to the latest market-data summary.
That mix matters because a 1.0% revenue increase is modest, but the combination of €115.1 million EBITDA and a 10.4% gross margin shows the business is still holding operating discipline. The stock's -10.12% year-to-date move against a €17.17 quote also keeps valuation and earnings quality in the frame.
Recent deal adds context
MarketScreener's news feed shows Kemira completed the acquisition of REPUR S.r.l. in early August, adding another water-treatment asset to the portfolio. The same feed also flagged the July 17, 2026 half-year report and the guidance reiteration tied to that update.
For investors, the important point is that Kemira is not just a materials name tied to cyclical pricing. The latest figures still point to a water-focused business with reported H1 2026 execution, acquisition activity and earnings that have remained positive.
Water treatment remains central
Kemira's business centers on water quality and quantity management solutions for pulp and paper, municipalities and water-intensive industries. That product mix helps explain why the company keeps expanding through targeted acquisitions in treatment and circular-solution niches.
Stock level to watch
Kemira stock traded at €17.17 in the latest snapshot, versus a previous close of €17.44 and a market cap of €2.42 billion. The shares remain inside the €16.15 to €21.28 range, with the most recent market reading pointing to a softer tone than the mid-August level near Tradegate.
