Hexpol (ISIN SE0007074281) traded at EUR 8.63 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 1:37 p.m. CEST. MarketScreener reported that EFN reiterated its buy rating after Hexpol's organic sales growth reached 8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 3 percent expected.
Organic growth returns
The latest operating figures give the rating a measurable basis. Hexpol's second-quarter 2026 revenue was SEK 5.28 billion, up 10.7 percent from SEK 4.77 billion in the first quarter, while operating profit reached SEK 728 million, according to Affarsvarlden.
That comparison matters because the operating result was SEK 701 million in the first quarter of 2026. The figures point to a stronger first half, although the margin eased to 13.8 percent from 14.7 percent quarter over quarter.
What comes next for reporting
Hexpol's recent chronology has three measurable steps. On July 20, 2026, its second-quarter report showed SEK 5.28 billion in revenue. On October 2, 2026, Hexpol published its third-quarter trading report through Nasdaq Nordic. On October 15, 2026, EFN's view highlighted 8 percent organic growth in the second quarter.
Reporting dates set the next test
Hexpol will publish its third-quarter 2026 report on October 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CET, according to Hexpol. The accompanying investor presentation is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. CET that day. The report will show whether the second-quarter improvement continued into the next period.
Stock price and operating trend
For investors, the key contrast is between the 10.7 percent quarterly revenue increase and the lower 13.8 percent second-quarter operating margin. Hexpol's business spans polymer compounds, gaskets and wheels, so the mix between thermoplastics and rubber operations remains relevant to the next margin reading. The stock was trading at EUR 8.63 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 1:37 p.m. CEST.
