BUA Foods Plc — H1 2026 Performance
BUA Foods Plc delivered a mixed first-half performance in 2026. While revenue declined significantly, the company still managed to grow its profits and earnings per share.
Revenue fell by 16.2% to ₦765.1 billion, compared with ₦912.5 billion in H1 2025. This means the company generated less revenue than it did a year earlier.
However, despite the decline in revenue, profitability improved. Profit Before Tax increased by 14.0% to ₦314.9 billion, while Profit After Tax rose by 12.4% to ₦292.3 billion. This suggests that the company was able to maintain or improve its profitability despite generating lower revenue.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) also increased from ₦14 to ₦16, representing a 12.4% growth. In simple terms, each share generated more earnings for investors than it did in the same period last year.
At the current share price of ₦845.10, BUA Foods trades at a P/E ratio of 52.8x, meaning investors are paying about ₦53 for every ₦1 the company currently earns. Its 1.89% earnings yield also shows that the stock is trading at a relatively high valuation compared with its current earnings.
