Stonegate Capital Partners Updates Coverage on Aquafil S.p.A (ECNL) 2Q26 Ready to Announce with Confidence?
Dallas, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - August 31, 2026) - Aquafil Group (MI: ECNL): Stonegate Capital Partners updates coverage on Aquafil Group (ECNL.MI). Aquafil's 2Q26 results continued to support the margin and deleveraging reset despite a sharp increase in raw material and transportation costs during the quarter. Revenue declined 1.0% y/y to 135.7M as volumes were broadly stable, while EBITDA declined 2.5% to 20.7M and EBITDA margin held at 15.3% versus 15.5% in 2Q25. Importantly, the modest EBITDA decline reflected a timing mismatch between higher input costs and contractual price recovery rather than a reversal in underlying cost performance. Management indicated the majority of the Q2 cost increase is being recovered through Q3 pricing, with additional recovery expected in 4Q. For 1H26, NFP improved to 196.9M from 209.5M at YE25. In our view, the quarter reinforces that Aquafil's lower fixed cost base and operating efficiencies are supporting margins even before a broader demand recovery, while the improving balance sheet provides additional flexibility heading into 2027.
