Lotus Bakeries (BE0003604155) is trading against a backdrop of first-half 2026 revenue of €749.1 million, underlying EBIT of €131.0 million, and a net result of €98.1 million after a report published on August 7, 2026. The first-half revenue gain was 14.0% from €657.3 million a year earlier, while net profit rose 23.5%.
Per the August 24, 2026 market note, underlying EBITDA reached €156.3 million and the EBIT margin improved to 17.5% from 16.7% in the first half of 2025. The same report also put net financial debt at €94.3 million, down 37.1% year over year, and said Lotus Biscoff volume and revenue increased by more than 20% in the period.
Investment plans stretch ahead
The most visible strategic marker is a five-year investment program of at least €500 million for sites in the United States, Thailand, and Belgium. The update also said more than €350 million had already been invested over the past five years to expand capacity, underlining how aggressively Lotus Bakeries is backing production growth.
That spending frame matters because the first phase of the Chonburi plant in Thailand was completed by the end of the first half and is now fully operational. The company also said 2026 and 2027 combined capex should exceed €250 million.
Share-price context
The stock was last shown at €13,000.00, up 1.40%, in the same market snapshot that carried the half-year update. The quoted level places the shares close to the 13,000-euro mark that recent coverage linked to higher analyst targets.
Biscoff still drives the story
Biscoff remains the clearest commercial reference point. The company said Lotus Biscoff volume and revenue increased by more than 20% in the first half of 2026, making the brand the main lever behind the group's margin progress and capacity spending.
