Olvi plc Interim report 23 April 2026 at 9:00 am

Olvi Group's interim report January-March 2026: Net sales and sales volume increased, integration of new subsidiaries began

January-March 2026

  • Sales volume increased by 3.1%, supported by acquisitions, and amounted to 205.4 (199.2) million litres.
  • Net sales increased by 11.4% and were EUR 147.9 (132.8) million.
  • The operating result decreased by 14.5% to EUR 10.6 (12.4) million. Gross profit improved by 15.2%. Operating result was decreased by the weakening of the operating result in Denmark and increased depreciation related to the allocation of the acquisition costs of new subsidiaries, totalling EUR 1.8 million.

Near-term outlook for 2026 (unchanged)

Olvi Group's operating result for the 2026 financial year is expected to be EUR 84-92 million.

The acquisitions completed in the first quarter have been consolidated into the Baltic Sea segment as of the beginning of January 2026, with the segment's name changed to Rest of Europe.

CEO's review (Patrik Lundell)

Good commercial position for preparing for the season, but in the face of uncertainty

During the first quarter, the beverage industry prepares for the upcoming summer season. In March, we launched approximately 228 new products for the spring and summer at the group level. In addition, we increased our inventories with products required for the summer season, which helps to ensure smooth delivery capacity. The new brew house in Iisalmi was commissioned in March, and it will support the delivery accuracy of beer during the summer season in Finland.

Commercially, we started the year again with uncertainty. Geopolitical and economic uncertainties are weighing on consumer demand. Despite the prevailing uncertainty in the market, our expectations for the rest of the year are cautiously positive. Despite the challenging market situation, we have continued to hold our market shares and are starting the season from a good position. We are actively monitoring the impact of the war in Iran on the development of packaging materials, raw materials and transport costs as well as the impact of the general economy on consumer demand and will take the necessary measures to maintain profitability and material availability.

Our acquisitions completed in the first quarter have already increased the Group's sales volume. We expect that, after the development of the businesses and the realisation of synergy benefits, these will generate an increasingly significant part of the business of our Group. We see opportunities to grow in several product categories in these new markets. The integration work started as planned in the first quarter and will continue throughout 2026. The most significant synergy benefits are expected to be realised from 2027 onwards.

Our vision is to be the most wanted multi-local beverage house. In 2026, we will continue to systematically implement our strategy, both at Group level and locally, guided by our values and through strong partnerships - positively and together. Development measures in line with our strategy, new products for the season, clear commercial priorities and committed employees contribute to creating confidence in the future.

Financial development

January-March 2026

The sales volume increased by 3.1% to 205.4 (199.2) million litres. The sales volume increased by 4.1% year-on-year due to acquisitions. Sales volumes in Denmark declined significantly, and excluding Denmark, sales volumes grew by 7.7%.

January and February were quiet sales-wise, but the market picked up in March. The comparability of the previous year is affected by Easter being in April in 2025, while this year's Easter sales were divided between March and April. The uncertainty of the global economic situation continues to be reflected in consumer behaviour. In Belarus, the sales volume has increased through overall market growth.

Thanks to our strong local brands and new launches, market shares in the main product categories have remained at the previous year's level. Net sales increased by 11.4% and were EUR 147.9 (132.8) million.

The operating result decreased by 14.5% from the comparison period and was EUR 10.6 (12.4) million. The decrease was particularly due to the weakening of the operating result in Denmark. In addition, compared to the previous year, depreciation due to the allocation of acquisition prices burdened the operating result. The operating result of the new subsidiaries as a whole remained negative due to factors such as takeover costs and high costs considering the low sales figures in the quarter. The operating result is traditionally lower in the quiet first quarter than the full-year level. Historically, January-March accounts for around 15% of the full-year result. Profitability improved in terms of gross profit. Gross profit increased to 42.3% of net sales, supported in particular by the development of the Finland and Rest of Europe segments.

Segment-specific business development: January-March 2026

Finland: investments in the launch of new products

The sales volume of business operations in Finland increased by 2.6 per cent to 56.0 (54.6) million litres and net sales increased by 3.4 per cent to 51.6 (49.9) million euros. Olvi's sales grew in both non-alcoholic and alcoholic products, especially hard seltzers and energy drinks. The overall market in alcoholic products remained at the previous year's level, and consumption of non-alcoholic products continued to grow. Olvi invested heavily in new products and launched the completely new Olvi Juju brand for soft drinks in March and revised the long drinks range. The market share of beer, the largest product category, remained strong at over 50%. In addition, we significantly strengthened our exports by launching the Sandels beer in the Sweden's Systembolaget chain.

The operating result of the business operations in Finland remained at the previous year's level, totalling EUR 4.2 (4.2) million. We invested significantly more in launching new products than in the previous year, which is why the growth in net sales is not directly reflected in a growing operating result. We will continue measures in line with our strategy targets to improve profitability by developing the product range and improving cost-effectiveness, among other means.

Rest of Europe: start of takeover and integration of new businesses

The Rest of Europe segment's sales volume declined by 1.3% to 74.0 (75.1) million litres. The sales volume was boosted by new domestic markets and decreased by the discontinued production of private label products in Denmark, which had still been included in the comparison period. New business operations in Latvia, Norway, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia increased the segment's sales volume by 10.8% compared to the previous year. Organically, sales volume decreased by 15.5%, mainly due to Denmark. Excluding the impact of Denmark, the organic sales volume decreased by only 1.1%. However, Olvi's market shares have mainly remained at the previous year's level. The segment's net sales increased by 13.9 % to EUR 58.4 (51.3) million, although organic net sales decreased by 6.3%.

Operating result decreased by EUR 1.6 million to EUR 0.1 (1.7) million. The decline was mainly due to the loss in Denmark, where business development measures are continuing. The impact of new businesses on the segment's result was EUR -0.6 million. The takeovers and integrations incurred one-off expenses. Organically, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania improved the operating result. In the quiet first quarter, profitability is generally weaker due to low sales and production volumes and high fixed costs. Although the segment's operating result for the first quarter declined significantly percentage-wise, the difference in euros is not significant from the point of view of achieving the full-year result targets.

Belarus: sales volume growth driven by non-alcoholic products

In Belarus, consumer demand and overall market development remained at a good level. The segment's sales volume increased by 8.5% to 76.4 (70.4) million litres. Sales volumes increased particularly in non-alcoholic product categories, such as water and soft drinks.

Net sales increased by 19.6% and were EUR 38.8 (32.4) million. In the local currency, net sales grew by 17.0%. The operating result increased by 6.0% from the comparison period and was EUR 7.1 (6.7) million. In the local currency, the operating result improved by 3.7%. The Belarusian business is reported as part of Olvi Group, but it operates by means of its own cash flow financing. There are temporary restrictions on the distribution of profits to the parent company, described under "Business risks and their management".

Sales development


Olvi Group's first-quarter sales volume increased by 3.1%, totalling 205.4 (199.2) million litres. The organic sales volume decreased by 2.2% to 194.8 million litres.

The Group's profit after taxes for the first quarter was EUR 5.9 (9.8) million.

In the first quarter, earnings per share calculated from the profit belonging to parent company shareholders were
EUR 0.28 (0.46).

Financial position and the balance sheet

Olvi Group's balance sheet total was EUR 702.1 (548.6) million on 31 March 2026. The increase in the balance sheet mainly resulted from the impact of corporate acquisitions and an increase in non-current assets following investments. Equity per share was EUR 17.99 (16.30). The equity ratio was 53.2% (61.8%), and gearing was 10.1% (-3.2%). The Group's liquidity indicator, the current ratio, weakened to 1.2 (1.5). The return on capital employed (ROCE) was 16.8% (22.8%). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 102.6 (23.9) million at the end of March. The long-term green loan for financing the brew house investment amounted to EUR 22 million, and short-term debt instruments were used for funding the corporate acquisitions. Of the interest-bearing liabilities, current liabilities accounted for EUR 65.3 (4.2) million.

Olvi Group's balance sheet and financial position are strong. Cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 64.8 (34.7) million at the end of the review period. The Group aims to secure the availability and flexibility of funding with an account overdraft facility, a commercial paper programme and credit limits. Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -10.2 (-19.7) million. The development of cash flow early in the year is particularly affected by preparing for the summer season, including increasing inventories. Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -45.3 (-10.7) million, and cash flow from financing activities was EUR 63.8 (13.1) million. Cash flow from investments was increased by acquisitions of subsidiaries. Cash flow from financing activities is improved by the use of short-term financial instruments.

Investments

Olvi Group's extension and replacement investments were EUR 12.2 (11.0) million in January-March. Of the investments, EUR 6.7 million was related to Finland, and EUR 5.1 million to subsidiaries in the Rest of Europe segment. The brew house investment at the Iisalmi plant was completed on schedule and on budget in March. In addition, the completion of the warehouse investment with regard to in-house logistics was continued. For the Rest of Europe segment, construction of a new warehouse began in Lithuania, which is the largest individual investment of the segment in 2026. In addition, investments were made in the procurement of sales equipment such as refrigeration equipment and the improvement of production conditions. Replacement investments necessary for the continuity of production were made in Belarus through the subsidiary's cash flow financing, totalling EUR 0.4 million.

In its investments, Olvi Group focuses on environmental friendliness, cost-effective operations and capacity development to meet business requirements.

Seasonal nature of operations

The nature of the Group's business operations involves seasonal fluctuation. The net sales and operating result of the geographical reporting segments are not accumulated steadily. Instead, they fluctuate in accordance with the special characteristics of the seasons of the year and product seasons.

Personnel

The Olvi Group's average number of personnel in the first quarter was 2,811 (2,404) employees. Growth was 16.9% year-on-year. The growth was attributable to corporate acquisitions in the Rest of Europe segment.

Sustainability

Environmental sustainability

Olvi's short-term and FLAG (forest, land and agriculture) climate targets have been approved under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The approval confirms that the company's emission reduction targets are aligned with the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement.

Olvi achieved the Gold level in the EcoVadis rating for the second time. The evaluation measures companies' environmental, social and ethical operating practices as well as the sustainability of the supply chain.

Social sustainability

Olvi is developing its human rights work through the UN Global Compact Network Finland's Beyond Basics human rights programme. The programme aims to deepen competence and strengthen consideration of human rights, particularly in contracts, procurement and cooperation with partners.

Good governance

The sustainability report for the financial year 2025, which is included in the Board of Directors' report and complies with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), was completed as planned and published on 11 March 2026.

Olvi Group continues to monitor and prepare for other changes in the EU's sustainability-related legislation. Finnish national legislative changes resulting from the EU's Omnibus I project will proceed in spring 2026 with amendments to the Finnish Accounting Act and Auditing Act.

Preparations are also continuing for the obligations of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the Green Transition Consumer Protection Directive (ECGT), the Deforestation Regulation and the Forced Labour Regulation. The application of the PPWR will begin on 12 August 2026 and the application of the ECGT on 27 September 2026, when the new prohibitions and information requirements for environmental claims will enter into force. However, the government is proposing a six-month national transition period until 27 March 2027 for the application of certain ECGT provisions. The Deforestation Regulation will be applied from 30 December 2026. The application of the EU's Forced Labour Regulation, which includes a ban on the market of products manufactured by forced labour, is expected to begin on 14 December 2027 when the Commission and Member States' guidance is completed in June 2026.

Board of Directors and management

During the review period January-March 2026, Nora Hortling served as Chair of the Board of Directors of Olvi plc, Lasse Heinonen as Vice Chair, and Tarmo Noop, Juho Nummela, Pekka Tiainen and Anette Vaini-Antila as other members. KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, served as the company's auditor, with Heidi Hyry, APA, as the principal auditor. The election of members by the Annual General Meeting on 1 April 2026 is described in the section "Events after the review period".

Other events during the review period


Changes in the Group structure

The acquisition of Valmiermuižas alus received the approval of the competition authority and the transaction was completed on 15 January 2026. The acquisition of Banjalucka Pivara received the approval of the competition authority and was completed on 2 January 2026. The acquisition of Brewery International, on the other hand, was completed on 2 January 2026. The effects of the combination of transactions are described in more detail in Table 5, section 13 of the interim report.

Share-based payments

The purpose of long-term remuneration is to implement Olvi's strategy and achieve Olvi's targets, increase shareholder value, improve competitiveness, support profitable growth and relative profitability, and engage the company's operational management and key people.

More information on incentive plans and related acquisitions of treasury shares is provided in Table 5, sections 4 and 5 of the interim report.

Business risks and their management

Geopolitical situation

Geopolitical uncertainty has affected the Group's operating environment. The war in Iran and the associated geopolitical tensions will significantly increase uncertainty in the energy, material and transport markets, which will be reflected in the cost level and the functioning of supply chains in 2026. The impacts are expected to extend into the coming years, especially with regard to aluminium. In addition, the war in Ukraine and tensions in many other regions, together with weather events caused by climate change, affect the prices and availability of raw materials and packaging materials and energy in the markets. The uncertain geopolitical situation may also weaken general economic development and consumer demand.

Olvi is actively monitoring the development of the situation and is prepared for potential impacts through, for example, decentralisation of procurement, contract, hedging and pricing mechanisms, and supply chain risk management tools. Olvi Group is responding to the increase in costs by improving operational productivity and assessing sales prices and selections to maintain profitability.

Consumer behaviour

Historically high consumer prices and the deterioration of the general economic outlook due to geopolitical uncertainty may reduce consumer confidence and purchasing power and affect consumer behaviour. This may increase the shift in consumption to more affordable product options, for example. In addition, overall consumption may decrease, and the premiumisation trend may come to a halt. However, there are differences between markets. Olvi Group is responding to the change by developing its product portfolio in line with consumer demand and by maintaining and strengthening market shares.

Operating environment in Belarus

The business operations and financial forecasting in Belarus continue to involve uncertainty. For example, the uncertainty concerns the development of exchange rates, the unpredictability of the operating environment, local legislation and taxation, trade sanctions, and the functioning of financial transactions with Western countries. Olvi's subsidiary operates independently in Belarus and is responsible for its procurements, among other aspects. In addition, the IT operating environment has been separated. The subsidiary finances its operations with cash flow from its own operations.

The restriction on the payment of dividends by Western-owned companies is valid until the end of 2026. The regulations limit the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid abroad. According to the current interpretation, the dividend that the Belarusian company can legally pay to the parent company is around EUR 2-4 million annually during the validity of the restrictions. According to Olvi Group's management's assessment, the now known temporary restriction on the payment of dividends by the Belarusian subsidiary does not impair the parent company's ability to pay dividends. Restrictions on the sale of shares in Olvi's subsidiary continue to apply. Olvi has no permission to sell shares in its Belarusian subsidiary. We monitor the legislative situation and actively evaluate the prerequisites and options for operating in the market.

Other current risks

Acquisitions offer growth opportunities, but also involve risks in terms of the success of the acquisition and expectations for growth in enterprise value. The risks may relate to, for example, the extent of due diligence and the implementation of business and integration plans. The benefits of acquisitions and the return on investment depend on the success of the takeover and the implementation of the business plan. Acquisitions often generate goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet, which is regularly tested against fair value. Goodwill is subject to risks of impairment losses if future cash flows do not support the valuation. Olvi manages the risks related to acquisitions by developing its acquisition processes and allocating resources to the implementation of the processes adequately.

Cybersecurity threats have increased because of the escalation of the global geopolitical situation and technological development, among other reasons. Olvi Group has prepared for increased data security threats in a variety of ways, and the new requirements under the NIS2 cybersecurity directive have been implemented according to schedule. Cybersecurity-related training, guidelines and threat situation training have been increased. Training is arranged annually for the personnel and information on data security risks and how to avoid them is shared. Olvi Group regularly audits its suppliers' data security practices and assesses the related risks.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation was adopted, and it entered into force on 11 February 2025. The regulation will apply from 12 August 2026. The regulation also contains several transitional provisions for the start dates of the various obligations. In the coming years, the European Commission will issue several implementing and delegated acts, as well as guidelines to further specify the requirements and their application. According to the current estimate, the new regulation will increase energy consumption and, consequently, climate emissions of product manufacturing and logistics, as well as water consumption, which will have a direct impact on Olvi Group's chances of achieving the set environmental targets. In addition, the regulation is likely to cause needs to invest in reusable bottles and transport packaging, and in equipment for product filling and handling. The process of implementing the regulation is being monitored closely, and efforts are being made to affect its application guidelines so that the sustainability aspects of Olvi Group's countries of operation are also taken into account.

Sustainability risks are identified through human rights and climate change impact assessments as part of the company's strategic, business, financial and compliance risks.

Preparedness

Olvi Group has prepared several scenarios related to the development of the business environment and is prepared to respond to changing situations. The company is prepared for production disruptions and has drawn up continuity plans related to the availability of labour, raw materials and energy, for example. The company has made investments to secure its energy supply and has also made efforts to ensure the availability of raw materials and packaging materials. Particular attention has been paid to the adequacy of risk management plans in accordance with risk assessments and the introduction of new risk assessment methods in terms of information security and sustainability risks, for example.

A more detailed description of the risks related to business operations is provided in Olvi Group's Board of Directors' report and the notes to the financial statements and on the company website at https://www.olvigroup.fi/en/investors/corporate-governance/corporate-governance/.

Changes in the Group structure

On 15 September 2025, Olvi announced that it would expand its non-alcoholic product selection and acquire Estonia's leading mineral water manufacturer Värska Originaal AS. The competition authority announced its approval of the transaction on 16 April 2026. Despite the approval, the completion of the transaction has been suspended for the time being, as a company has submitted an application to the Administrative Court for an interim measure. The Administrative Court issued an interim measure and suspended the implementation of the approval.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, applying the same accounting principles that were applied to the 2025 financial statements (31 December 2025).

The figures in the interim report are presented in thousands (1,000) of euros. For presentation, individual figures and totals have been rounded up to full thousands, which causes rounding differences in the totals. Exchange rates obtained from the Central Bank of Belarus have been used as the exchange rate for the Belarusian rouble. The key ratios have been calculated by using accurate euro-denominated figures. The information published in the interim report has not been audited.

The registered share capital totalled EUR 20,759 thousand on 31 March 2026.


In accordance with the decision made by the Annual General Meeting of Olvi plc on 1 April 2026, a dividend of EUR 1.35 per share for 2025 (EUR 1.30 per share for 2024), totalling EUR 28.0 (26.9) million, will be paid on shares in Olvi plc. The dividend shall be paid in two instalments. The first instalment, EUR 0.67 per share, will be paid on 30 April 2026. The second instalment, EUR 0.68 per share, will be paid on 30 September 2026. Series K shares and Series A shares provide their holders with equal rights to dividends. The Articles of Association include a redemption clause concerning Series K shares.

4. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

At its meeting on 10 March 2026, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc decided on the new performance period 2026-2028 for the performance-based share plan (PSP) and on the participants, number and allocation of shares in the incentive plan. Olvi announced the establishment of the plans in a release issued on 19 December 2023.

The purpose of the performance-based incentive plan is to align the objectives of shareholders and key personnel of the company's management in order to develop the company's long-term value and to commit key personnel to the company. The earning criteria for the programme are the cumulative operating result of the Group's Scandinavian, Balkan and Baltic businesses, sales of non-alcoholic products and the reduction in climate emissions per litre produced in-house.

Approximately 39 people are eligible to participate in the PSP 2026-2028 plan, including the members of the Olvi Group's Leadership Team and the company's CEO. If the performance targets set for the PSP 2026-2028 plan are achieved in full, the total amount of share-based rewards paid under the plan will be a maximum of 41,440 net shares plus a cash component that covers the taxes and statutory social insurance contributions incurred by the key personnel due to the reward.

Under the authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by Olvi plc's Annual General Meeting on 1 April 2026, Olvi plc's Board of Directors has decided to transfer a total of 4,698 Olvi plc Series A shares held by the company to the company's key personnel as part of the performance-based share plan 2023-2025. In the plan, the target group was able to earn Olvi plc's Series A shares based on performance. The performance-based share plan was announced in a release issued on 2 March 2023.

In addition, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc has decided to transfer a total of 1,500 Olvi plc Series A shares held by the company to the company's key personnel as part of the restricted share plan 2024-2025. In the plan, the target group could earn Olvi plc's Series A shares based on the continuity of employment. The restricted share plan was announced in a release issued on 19 December 2024.

The costs related to incentive plans totalled EUR 371.0 thousand in the review period. Olvi Group has no other share or option arrangements in place.

5. TREASURY SHARES

At the beginning of January 2026, Olvi plc held a total of 16,918 Series A shares in the company. At its meeting on 11 February 2026, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc decided to launch a share repurchase programme under the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 16 April 2025, and to acquire a maximum of 80,000 Series A shares. The repurchase of shares began on 19 February 2026 and ended on 26 March 2026. The shares are purchased for use in financing or completing potential acquisitions or other arrangements, implementing the company's incentive plans, developing the company's capital structure or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors.

At the end of the review period, Olvi plc held a total of 94,835 of its own Series A shares as treasury shares. The total purchase price of the treasury shares was EUR 3,175.8 thousand. The treasury shares do not provide the company with voting rights. The Series A shares held by Olvi plc represent 0.46% of all shares in the company and 0.10% of all votes provided by the shares in the company. The treasury shares account for 0.56% of all Series A shares in the company and of the votes provided by all Series A shares in the company.

Based on the management's assessment and testing, the balance sheet valuation of the Belarusian business segment on 31 March 2026 is materially at the right level, and there is no need to change the impairment recognised. Accordingly, the written-down fixed assets are not subject to depreciation. The Belarusian business segment's balance sheet value was EUR 79.9 million on 31 March 2026. No changes have been made to the valuation model, and assumptions from the previous year have been used in the model.

14. CALCULATION PRINCIPLES FOR KEY RATIOS


In its summary of key ratios (page 1), the Group presents key ratios directly derived from the consolidated income statement (net sales, operating result, profit for the period and their proportions of net sales, as well as earnings per share). (Earnings per share = Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent company / Average number of shares during the period, adjusted for share issues).

In addition to its IFRS-based consolidated financial statements, Olvi plc presents Alternative Performance Measures that describe the financial performance of its business operations and provide a comparable overview of the company's profitability, solvency and liquidity.

The Group has applied the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) guidelines (effective since 3 July 2016) on Alternative Performance Measures and has determined such measures as follows:

The Group presents sales volume data in millions of litres as an Alternative Performance Measure that supports net sales. Sales volume is an important and widely used indicator in the industry that describes the scope of operations. To improve comparability between reporting periods, the Group also presents the adjusted operating result and the adjusted profit for the period as Alternative Performance Measures if required. The adjusted operating result is calculated by deducting significant items affecting comparability from net sales. The corresponding items have been deducted from the profit for the period when calculating the adjusted profit for the period.

Investments consist of increases in fixed assets, excluding increases under IFRS 16.

Equity per share = Equity attributable to owners of the parent company / Number of shares at the end of the period, adjusted for share issues.


Equity ratio, % = 100 * (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interests) / (Balance sheet total).

Gearing, % = 100 * (Interest-bearing liabilities - cash in hand and at bank) / (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interests).

Return on capital employed, % (ROCE) = 100 * (12-month rolling operating result) / (Equity attributable to owners of the parent company + non-controlling interests + interest-bearing liabilities).

Energiepreisschock - Diese 3 Werte könnten langfristig abräumen!
Die Eskalation im Iran-Konflikt hat die Energiepreise mit voller Wucht nach oben getrieben. Was zunächst nach einer kurzfristigen Reaktion aussah, entwickelt sich zunehmend zu einem strukturellen Problem: Die Straße von Hormus ist blockiert, wichtige LNG- und Ölanlagen stehen still oder werden gezielt angegriffen. Eine schnelle Entspannung ist nicht in Sicht – im Gegenteil, die Lage spitzt sich weiter zu.

Für die Weltwirtschaft bedeutet dies wachsende Risiken. Steigende Energiepreise erhöhen den Inflationsdruck, gefährden Zinssenkungen und bringen die ohnehin hoch bewerteten Aktienmärkte ins Wanken. Doch wo Risiken entstehen, ergeben sich auch Chancen.

Denn von einem dauerhaft höheren Energiepreisniveau profitieren nicht nur Öl- und Gasunternehmen. Auch Versorger, erneuerbare Energien sowie ausgewählte Rohstoff- und Agrarwerte rücken in den Fokus. In diesem Umfeld könnten gezielt ausgewählte Unternehmen überdurchschnittlich profitieren – unabhängig davon, ob die Krise anhält oder nicht.

In unserem aktuellen Spezialreport stellen wir drei Aktien vor, die genau dieses Profil erfüllen: Krisenprofiteure mit solidem Geschäftsmodell, attraktiver Bewertung und langfristigem Potenzial.
