Grupo Multilaser Q2 2026 revenue beats, EPS misses estimates
Brazilian electronics manufacturer posts higher-than-expected sales but falls short on earnings per share in the second quarter of 2026.
Grupo Multilaser reported on Friday a quarterly revenue beat for the second quarter of 2026, though its earnings per share missed analyst expectations.
The Brazilian electronics manufacturer said Q2 2026 revenue rose to 2.1 billion reais ($420 million), exceeding the 2.0 billion reais forecast by Refinitiv. The outperformance was driven by strong demand for consumer electronics and expanded distribution in Latin America.
Earnings per share, however, came in at 0.32 reais, below the 0.38 reais consensus estimate compiled by Refinitiv. The miss reflected higher input costs and elevated marketing expenses tied to new product launches.
Chief Executive Officer Alexandre Ostrowiecki highlighted robust sales growth in Brazil and neighboring markets but acknowledged margin pressures from rising component prices and logistics challenges.
‘We are pleased with our revenue performance, which underscores the strength of our brand and distribution network,’ Ostrowiecki said. ‘However, the EPS miss reflects the current cost environment, which we expect to stabilize in the second half of 2026.’
The company maintained its full-year 2026 guidance, reaffirming revenue growth of 10-12% and an EBITDA margin of 14-16% despite near-term cost headwinds.
Grupo Multilaser’s shares were down 3.2% in pre-market trading on Friday following the release.
