Akzo Nobel NV
Akzo Nobel makes paints and coatings. Its products include decorative paints for homes and buildings, plus industrial coatings that protect things like metal structures, ships, cars, and factories from wear and corrosion. It sells well-known paint brands to consumers and professional painters, and it supplies tailored coating systems to industrial customers. The company makes money by selling finished coatings through retail stores, distributors, and direct sales to businesses. A lot of its business depends on brands, product quality, color matching, and technical support, because many customers need coatings that are not just colorful but also durable, weather-resistant, or chemically tough. What makes Akzo Nobel different is that it sits at the specialized end of the materials chain. It is not just a commodity chemical producer; it develops formulas and surface-protection systems that help buildings look good and help industrial assets last longer. That gives it a mix of consumer exposure, steady maintenance demand, and long-term relationships with professional and industrial buyers.

Profitability: Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 398 million, up 5% at comparable scope, with adjusted EBITDA margin at 15.4% and adjusted gross margin at 42.7%.
Outlook unchanged: Management left its 2026 adjusted EBITDA target at or above EUR 1,470 million and guided Q3 adjusted EBITDA at around EUR 390 million.

Axalta deal: Merger preparations are on track, with the shareholder vote set for August 5 and management still aiming to close by the end of 2026 or early 2027.
Cash flow: Free cash flow was EUR 108 million in Q2, trade working capital improved, and full-year cash flow guidance was unchanged.
