Among the Portuguese companies, Altri SGPS registered an EBITDA of €28.2 million in Q2 2025 and improved its EBITDA margin by 2.2 percentage points. The company is benefiting from a global pulp demand increase of about 3% in early 2025, supporting its performance.
Galp, a major oil company, saw its stock rise by 2.62% recently, trading around €16.28, reflecting positive market sentiment for the company in July 2025.
Nos SGPS SA, though not listed in the original query, beat EPS expectations (reported €0.11 vs. forecast €0.08) with revenues up 3.2% year-over-year to €458 million in Q2 2025. However, its stock dropped 4.14% after earnings despite the positive results, partly due to a 28% fall in net income caused by fewer extraordinary effects, though recurring net income grew 16% and the company continues expanding its fiber and IT services.
