By: French dairy group Savencia reported a 2.6% decline in revenue in 2025, mainly due to negative currency effects, reported Reuters.
The company said the decline was driven largely by the impact of South American currencies and the US dollar.
Savencia also completed the acquisition of Brazilian dairy company Quatá during the year.
Current operating profit fell as a result of an unprecedented rise in milk prices combined with a decline in industrial commodity prices.
Looking ahead, Savencia said 2026 is expected to be marked by an uncertain and volatile environment. The company also cited a fragile consumer context in Europe.
Savencia plans to continue investing in brand growth and its chocolate activities in 2026.
Analyst coverage of the stock remains limited. The one available analyst rating on Savencia shares is “hold,” while the average consensus recommendation for the broader food processing peer group is “buy.”
Wall Street’s median 12-month price target for Savencia SA is €59.00, about 0.3% below its March 4 closing price of €59.20.
The stock recently traded at seven times expected earnings over the next 12 months, compared with a price-to-earnings ratio of six three months ago.
