FY26 warning, H126 EBIT in line with consensus, JPM Price (31 Jul 26):€80.70

sees teens downgrade to FY26/27E EPS Price Target (Dec-27):€80.00

with a Consumer margin of at least 11% (vs consensus 12.8%) implying a c260bps Edward G Hockin

c11.8% vs css 13.5%) and to return to profitable growth from FY28. The higher-

than-expected magnitude of the warning evidences the task to turn around Nivea: Specialist Sales contact details:
