Guidance for 2026
Guidance
Valmet reiterates its guidance issued on February 6, 2026, in which Valmet estimates that net sales in 2026 will remain at the previous year's level in comparison with 2025 (EUR 5,197 million) and Comparable EBITA in 2026 will remain at the previous year's level or increase in comparison with 2025 (EUR 620 million).
Short-term market outlook for October 2026 - March 2027
Process Performance Solutions Biomaterial Solutions and ServicesValmet estimates that the market for Process Performance Solutions is expected to remain at low year-over-year growth.
At the same time, uncertainty related to the geopolitical situation and global economic outlook remains high, which reduces short-term market visibility.
Valmet estimates that the market in Biomaterial Solutions and Services will remain broadly unchanged. However, it is typical that the timing of customers' large investment decisions can have a significant impact on market activity in any individual quarter.
The biomaterial services market is expected to stabilize in the coming quarters. Uncertainty related to the geopolitical situation and global economic outlook remains high, causing short-term volatility and limiting market visibility.
Valmet's short-term market outlook covers the period October 2026 - March 2027. It reflects Valmet's estimate of expected growth and demand trends in its key markets, based on ongoing discussions with customers and other market information. It should not be interpreted as guidance for Valmet's own orders received.
