Rating:53Neutral
Price Target:
$5.50
▼(-23.61% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/15/26
The score is driven primarily by a fundamentally resilient but currently pressured financial profile (thin margins and weaker free cash flow despite manageable leverage). Technicals further weigh on the rating due to a clear downtrend. Valuation is mixed (solid yield but negative P/E), while the latest earnings call is broadly neutral with reiterated guidance balanced by Q1 weakness and inflation/regional risks.
Positive Factors
Diversified product portfolio & markets
Wienerberger's broad product set (bricks, roof tiles, pavers, plastic pipe systems) and multi‑market presence across Europe and North America reduces reliance on a single cyclical end market. This structural diversification supports steadier revenue through varied residential, commercial and infrastructure demand cycles.
Negative Factors
Thin net margins & compressed profitability
A low net margin limits the company's ability to absorb sustained input-cost inflation or competitive price pressure. Compressed earnings imply weaker conversion of gross profitability into net income, reducing internal capacity to invest in growth, return capital, or rapidly deleverage during prolonged downturns.

Wienerberger Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 13, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call described a soft, weather-impacted Q1 with notable regional and North American weakness (revenues down 7%, Q1 operating EBITDA ~EUR 97m), but emphasized that the quarter was expected, volumes recovered in March/April, price increases and hedging mitigate some inflationary pressure, and strategic acquisitions (Italcer, NEWS) and cost savings support the full-year outlook. Key risks include rising input cost inflation from the Middle East conflict, limited visibility, and near-term leverage impact from acquisitions. Overall, positives (recovery trend, hedging, strategic M&A and cost programs) balance the negatives (Q1 declines, regional weakness and inflation risks), resulting in a neutral outlook.Positive Updates
Guidance Reiterated Despite Volatility
Company reaffirmed full-year operating EBITDA guidance of EUR 810 million and reiterated targets despite limited visibility from geopolitical uncertainty (Middle East). Management cited strong execution, cost discipline and mitigation measures as reasons for confidence.
Negative Updates
Quarterly Revenue Decline
Group revenues fell by 7% year-on-year in Q1 2026 (organic revenue decline ~6%), driven primarily by weather-related volume weakness early in the quarter and a very strong Q1 2025 comparitor.

Company Guidance
Wienerberger reiterated its full‑year operating EBITDA guidance of EUR 810 million (which includes c. EUR 50 million contribution from Italcer), while noting Q1 revenues were down 7% (organic -6%) and operating EBITDA fell to about EUR 97 million with Q1 cost inflation ~2%; volumes recovered in March (group mid‑single‑digit, Europe double‑digit) and continued into April/early May, but North America remained the weakest region (Q1 revenues -21%, EBITDA -37%, double‑digit volume decline). Management expects flat full‑year volumes, a stronger H2 than H1, to cover rising inflation via price increases (ceramics mid‑single‑digit, piping double‑digit; up to ~20% in some Eastern markets), and reiterated mitigation actions (Fit for Growth, targeted cost savings of EUR 30 million, disposal of non‑core properties expected to net ~EUR 20–30 million). CapEx plans include maintenance EUR 160 million, health & safety EUR 20 million and growth/ESG ~EUR 100 million; Italcer was closed (purchase c. EUR 160 million for 50%+1) and NEWS Group adds ~EUR 20 million turnover; group energy is ~80% hedged (spot gas cited ~EUR 45), leverage target remains c. 2.2x net debt/EBITDA.Wienerberger Financial Statement Overview
