What the Analysts think about Essity AB
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Essity AB stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Essity AB stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Essity’s sales are showing signs of volume-led momentum: Q2 organic sales rose 0.3%, with volumes up 1.4% and growth in Health & Medical, Personal Care and Professional Hygiene. This suggests demand is holding up in several of its higher-growth areas. (Essity)
The planned acquisition of Kenvue’s Brazilian feminine-care business would deepen Essity’s position in an attractive market. The business recorded about BRL 800m in sales over the year to June 2026 and Essity says it was profitable, although the deal still needs approvals. (Essity)
Essity’s adjusted Q2 EBITA came in slightly ahead of analyst expectations despite higher cost inflation, showing some near-term earnings resilience. Management also expects its efficiency measures to have a greater effect in the second half of 2026. (ESM Magazine, Essity)
Input-cost inflation may outpace price increases in the near term: Goldman expects Q3 pricing gains to fall well short of rising unit costs. Essity’s adjusted EBITA margin had already eased to 13.4% in Q2 from 13.7% a year earlier. (Investing.com, Essity)
Consumer Tissue remains a clear weak spot: sales fell as both prices and volumes declined, while higher input costs had not yet been offset by price increases. Continued weakness here could weigh on group growth and margins. (Essity)
A potential sale of Consumer Tissue may not unlock value cleanly. UBS warns that operational links with other divisions could leave stranded costs and dissynergies, making a separation complex and its benefits slow to realise. (Investing.com)
