The company’s net sales for the April–June period rose to 379.9 million euros, a 10.6% increase compared to the same quarter last year.

Nokian Tyres Profits Surge as Sales Volumes Climb
Nokian Tyres reported a 136% jump in operating profit for the second quarter of 2026, reaching 34.8 million euros. The Finnish manufacturer attributed the gains to higher sales volumes and disciplined pricing strategies that effectively offset ongoing market volatility and global economic uncertainty.
CEO Paolo Pompei noted that the quarterly performance aligns with the firm’s strategic shift to prioritize premium positioning. While manufacturing and material costs have trended downward, the company continues to manage inflationary pressures within its Vianor service centers. Looking ahead, Nokian Tyres maintains its guidance for the full year, anticipating net sales growth and an operating profit margin between 8% and 10%, provided that geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and global trade uncertainties do not escalate further.
