Neste’s Renewable Products Sales Margin Forecast Update: What it Means for Investors

Neste has updated its forecast for the sales margin of renewable products, moving the range from USD 600-800 to USD 480-650 per ton.

Despite this update, Neste’s shares experienced significant trading activity in the afternoon, with a decrease of 12.3% to EUR 19.46 per share.

Marimekko surpassed expectations while Toivo Group faced challenges but remained optimistic about future growth. The day saw mixed results from several companies, reflecting the uncertain financial landscape caused by changing market conditions and internal challenges impacting various sectors.
