Ackermans & van Haaren stock reports 24 percent H1 profit growth

Ackermans & van Haaren stock closed at EUR 270.00 on Euronext Brussels on September 25, 2026, up 0.37 percent from EUR 269.00. The latest company timetable points to an extraordinary shareholder meeting on October 15, 2026, according to Nasdaq.

Profit rises while revenue holds

According to Simply Wall St, Ackermans & van Haaren generated EUR 3,030.2 million in revenue in the first half of 2026, compared with EUR 3,033.3 million in the first half of 2025. Net income excluding extraordinary items rose to EUR 339.6 million from EUR 273.2 million, a 24 percent increase, while basic earnings per share advanced to EUR 10.39 from EUR 8.36.

The contrast matters for investors: earnings expanded despite virtually unchanged half-year revenue. The figures point to improved profitability and stronger contributions from the portfolio rather than simple top-line expansion.

Analyst target stays above price

MarketScreener lists six analysts with an average target price of EUR 311.86 for Ackermans & van Haaren, according to its MarketScreener company page. Against the September 25 close of EUR 270.00, that target is EUR 41.86 higher, or 15.50 percent above the share price.

The analyst picture is not uniform. The same MarketScreener report identifies Oddo BHF's September 7, 2026 downgrade to Neutral and lower price target, while a September 1, 2026 report says Berenberg retained its Buy rating after reviewing the first-half portfolio momentum.

October vote sets the next date

The extraordinary shareholder meeting will consider matters set out in the convening notice, with the meeting scheduled for October 15, 2026, at the company's seat in Antwerp, Nasdaq reports. The date gives the market a defined corporate checkpoint after the strong H1 earnings update.

Stock remains below yearly high

The September 25 closing price of EUR 270.00 was EUR 30.20 below the 52-week high of EUR 300.20 and remained above the 52-week low of EUR 208.20. Trading volume was 20,690 shares, while market capitalization stood at EUR 8.9 billion on the same date.
