Petrol dd (ISIN SI0031102153) warned on October 8, 2026 that full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization could come in 15 to 20 percent below plan, according to Petrol. The company also cited a EUR 27.50 million loss from petroleum product sales in Slovenia during March 2026. The warning puts regulated fuel margins at the center of Petrol's 2026 earnings outlook.

Regulation drives the earnings risk

Petrol said performance had weakened particularly in Slovenian petroleum product sales. It also pointed to unforeseen regulatory restrictions in Croatia, adding pressure to a business that operates across fuel retail, energy supply and related services.

The company argued that regulated pricing in Slovenia and Croatia limits the ability of fuel sellers to respond quickly to volatile oil markets. Petrol said the pricing model should allow daily adjustments that better reflect market conditions, while warning that a significant part of its business is at risk during 2026.

What does the warning mean for 2026?

The 15 to 20 percent operating earnings gap is the clearest quantified marker for the year. The EUR 27.50 million Slovenian loss came from March alone, so the warning describes a pressure point rather than a full-year loss figure.

When are the next results due?

Petrol's investor page lists its first-half 2026 performance report among the company's public materials, with the reporting period ending June 30, 2026. The next scheduled operating-results publication is November 19, 2026, according to MarketScreener. That date will give investors a new benchmark for the effect of fuel pricing and Croatian regulation.

Petrol's business exposure

Petrol combines oil and merchandise sales with gas, electricity, heat, energy-efficiency and environmental activities. The October warning therefore reaches beyond station traffic and points to regulatory exposure across a wider energy platform.
