Bulls say / Bears say
Schouw raised its 2026 guidance after a strong first half: revenue is now expected at DKK 34.8–37.2 billion and EBITDA at DKK 3.15–3.35 billion, while Q2 EBITDA rose 17% and EPS increased 39%. (Schouw & Co.)
The BioMar IPO generated DKK 2.7 billion of proceeds while leaving Schouw with a 74% controlling stake, improving financial flexibility without removing BioMar’s earnings contribution from the consolidated group. (Schouw & Co.)
Earnings improvement was broad-based rather than dependent on one subsidiary: BioMar, GPV, HydraSpecma and Fibertex Nonwovens benefited from higher activity, productivity gains, footprint optimization and better capacity utilization in Q2 2026. (Schouw & Co.)
Operating cash flow fell 24% year over year to DKK 410 million in Q2 2026 despite a 17% EBITDA increase, indicating weaker cash conversion and potential working-capital pressure. (Schouw & Co.)
Schouw remains exposed to raw-material prices, foreign-exchange movements and geopolitical or trade-related disruption across its internationally distributed businesses; management specifically flags that such volatility can affect revenue and earnings even when underlying activity is unchanged. (Schouw & Co.)
The Spectre acquisition adds execution risk: it is Schouw’s first new platform investment since 2017, remains subject to regulatory approval, and expands exposure to a specialized apparel manufacturer dependent on a relatively small number of premium-brand customers and Vietnam-based production. (Schouw & Co.)
