Published on 10/08/2026 at 05:13 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSElton International Trading Company S.A. (ISIN GRS397003005) fell 1.44 percent to EUR 1.71 on the Athens Exchange on October 7, 2026. The move gives investors a current market reference while the latest reported figures show stronger profitability in the first half of 2026.
First-half profit rose 74.4 percent
On September 23, 2026, Naftemporiki reported that Elton group sales increased 5.5 percent to EUR 94.92 million in the first half of 2026, compared with EUR 89.97 million in the first half of 2025. Group EBITDA increased 35.2 percent, while pre-tax profit reached EUR 4.0 million from EUR 2.3 million.
The improvement was broader than the headline profit figure. According to Naftemporiki, group gross margin rose to 17.6 percent from 15.5 percent in the comparable period, while handled volumes grew 8.5 percent.
Lower debt supports the balance sheet
Net debt stood at EUR 15.4 million on June 30, 2026, down from EUR 16.7 million at December 31, 2025, according to Naftemporiki. That reduction came alongside higher sales and EBITDA, giving the earnings improvement a balance-sheet dimension rather than leaving it as a single-period profit comparison.
Elton's investor-relations page describes a distribution network covering 10 countries and 35,000 square meters of logistics facilities. The company says those facilities handle more than 250,000 metric tons of products annually, spanning chemicals, agricultural inputs, food ingredients and laboratory supplies, according to Elton.
Stock remains below its yearly high
Elton's EUR 1.71 price on October 7, 2026, stood 22.97 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 2.22 and above the 52-week low of EUR 1.62. Trading volume was 20,837 shares, while market capitalization was EUR 45.7 million on the same date.
The key contrast is clear: the stock was down 1.44 percent in the latest session, while first-half group revenue rose 5.5 percent and pre-tax profit increased 74.4 percent. For investors, the next assessment point is whether the improved margin and lower net debt continue through the second half.
