Suominen is a manufacturing company. The company manufactures and develops a wide range of wipes, hygiene products and medical applications. The manufacturing is based on non-woven fabrics that can be used for various purposes. Customers are found in several industries, with the largest operations in Europe and North America. The company has its headquarters in Helsinki.

Rauli has published an equity research report on Suominen following their Q2 results   Suominen’s Q2 result was better than we expected and better than the comparison period. The company reiterated its full-year guidance of increasing earnings. However, the absolute level of profitability is still weak, and the earnings improvement driven by the efficiency program we forecast will be used to digest the valuation multiples, which is why we see the return expectation as weak. We reiterate our “Reduce” recommendation but raise the target price to €0.63 (previously €0.60) due to upward revisions to our forecasts.                    Inderes              Suominen Q2'26: Pieniä merkkejä paremmasta - Inderes    Suomisen Q2-tulos oli odotuksiamme ja vertailukautta parempi. Tulostaso on kuitenkin edelleen absoluuttisesti heikko.

Suominen’s CEO Charles Héaulmé was interviewed by Rauli regarding the Q2 results    Topics: 00:00 Introduction  00:12 Key highlights of Q2  02:16 Demand situation  05:39 Sales mix  07:33 Raw material costs and price increases  08:50 Future innovations as growth drivers  12:13 Guidance  14:45 Delay in the ramp-up of the Alicante plant

Boom! Suominen beat forecasts for the first time in about five years. The level is admittedly still weak, but at least the adj. operating profit rose above zero. The guidance for increasing adj. EBITDA for the full year remains unchanged, and this result gives confidence in its realization (our forecast was quite close before Q2).

Thanks for asking.  After a quick look into the industry and its companies, it feels like there are quite a lot of challenges in general, and there don’t seem to be any clear, major growth drivers visible for the sector as a whole. The questions below might be silly and unnecessary, so there’s no need to ask them, but they just came to mind.  1. How is the long-term demand/growth of the market developing, and what are Suominen’s strengths relative to its competitors? 2. Does Suominen currently have any new product, material, or technological development projects, etc., underway that could bring new growth or, for example, otherwise open up various new opportunities in the near future?

CEO Charles will be interviewed again on Friday following the Q2 results. If you have any questions that have come to mind, please send them over and I will try to include them…

Here are Rauli’s preview comments ahead of Suominen’s Q2 report release on Friday, August 7th.   We expect revenue to have turned to clear growth due to the recovery in volumes. However, we estimate that the earnings level will remain at the level of the comparison period, burdened by rising raw material and energy costs. The company recently completed its oversubscribed share issue, which will ease the balance sheet situation, but the progress of the operational turnaround remains under our magnifying glass. We expect the company to reiterate its full-year guidance, although we see a clear downward risk in it.                    Inderes – 5 Aug 26              Suominen Q2'26 -ennakko: Liikevaihto kasvuun kustannuspaineiden jatkuessa -...    Ennustamme liikevaihdon loikanneen 113 MEUR:oon, mutta nousevat kulut pitäneen tuloksen heikkona.

Suominen’s stock has risen quite a bit since the share issue. How do you view the company’s current valuation? The earnings, however, are not predicted to turn profitable just yet.

Suominen's Q2 comparable EBITDA was clearly ahead of Vara Research consensus, supported by improving volumes and lower fixed costs. Self-help measures started to support development while the company noted an unfavourable mix and difficulties in meeting demand in some product segments. The timing of price adjustments could be supportive for H2 and we expect a sequential margin expansion in H2. We make positive revisions for 2026E while leaving 2027E-28E largely intact. We broaden our DCF- and multiples-based fair value range to EUR 0.6-0.9 (0.5-0.8).
