After several quarters of weak or stagnant growth, the outlook now appears to be turning upward. Although revenue is expected to remain unchanged in Q3, profitability is anticipated to improve significantly, with growth set to pick up going forward. The operating margin is projected to rise from 8.4% to 9.1% in Q3 — and to reach 10% next year.

Behind this optimism lies the new strategy “Lead the Way,” launched this summer. The strategy aims to simplify the company’s structure, strengthen cost efficiency, and give greater responsibility to employees. The new CEO, Thomas Hinnerskov, who took office in August 2024, seeks to build on Valmet’s long heritage while sharpening the company for the future.

After eight quarters of weak growth, investors are now hoping for a turnaround — and improved profitability may be the first step in that direction.
