Green Oleo cushions volume slump with personal care growth but margins squeezed in 2025

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Green Oleo S.P.A. ( (IT:GRN) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Green Oleo reported 2025 revenues of 69.7 million euro, only slightly below the prior year despite a 7% drop in volumes, as strong 49% growth in the personal care segment and a 50% revenue increase in glycerines partly offset weakness in other markets. The company’s value of production rose 1.6% to 73.3 million euro, reflecting a strategy to build finished product inventories so it can respond quickly to spot demand in a highly uncertain trading environment.

Profitability came under pressure as raw material costs rose and weak demand limited price pass-through, pushing raw material incidence to 71.5% and cutting EBITDA to 1.1 million euro from 3.0 million, with EBIT sliding to a loss of 1.8 million euro and the net result worsening to a loss of 2.8 million euro. Management highlighted sector-wide headwinds from higher European energy prices, soft downstream demand and regulatory uncertainty around the EU deforestation-free products rules, but sees medium-term upside from its pivot toward higher-margin personal care specialties and ongoing R&D investments aimed at restoring volumes and profitability in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:GRN) stock is a Buy with a EUR1.25 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Green Oleo S.P.A. stock, see the IT:GRN Stock Forecast page.
