Südzucker Sees Strong Q1 Earnings Rise, Confirms 2026/27 EBITDA Guidance

Suedzucker ( (DE:SZU) ) has provided an announcement.

Südzucker AG expects a significant year-on-year increase in group EBITDA for the first quarter of its 2026/27 financial year, compared with the prior-year level of EUR 96 million. The group links this improvement to stronger operational performance across its diversified food and bioethanol activities, underscoring its resilience amid volatile markets.

For the full 2026/27 financial year, Südzucker has confirmed its earlier guidance of slightly lower group revenues than the EUR 8.4 billion recorded in 2025/26, while projecting group EBITDA between EUR 480 million and EUR 680 million. Management cautions that the outlook remains subject to considerable geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, and plans to publish a detailed forecast alongside its annual report on 21 May 2026, information that will be closely watched by investors assessing earnings momentum and risk.

The most recent analyst rating on (DE:SZU) stock is a Buy with a EUR15.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Suedzucker stock, see the DE:SZU Stock Forecast page.
