Moltiply Group walked into this earnings season priced for perfection. The stock trades on a rich 31.5x P/E and the latest close at €36.45 comes after a choppy few weeks where the share price slipped around 6% over the past month.
The headline from the results is not roaring growth. It is pressure on profitability. Trailing net profit margin is 5.9%, lower than the 7.8% seen a year earlier. The valuation still looks stretched against both peers and a cash flow based estimate of €15.31 per share.

Moltiply Group still gives bulls something to work with. H1 2026 revenue rose 13.7% to €343.1m and EBITDA grew faster at 20.8%, so the model is scaling. EBITDA margin improved to 27.2% from 25.6%, helped by a richer BPO & Tech mix and efficiency gains. Net income in H1 climbed 69% to €37.1m, showing strong operating leverage when conditions cooperate. Even in a softer Q2, net profit advanced 42% year on year to €14.2m, which supports the idea of a resilient digital finance infrastructure platform.
In the short term the sceptical view on Moltiply Group still has teeth. Q2 2026 revenue fell 5% year on year to €160.4m and Mavriq’s Q2 top line slipped 1.5%, with EBITDA there down 6.4%. Group trailing net margin sits at 5.9%, below 7.8% a year earlier, so profitability compression is real despite higher trailing sales. The BPO & Tech arm improved margins to about 25.9%, but that strength is offset by softer comparison activity in energy and loans. Recent share price weakness over 7 and 30 days fits this more cautious earnings backdrop.
Compare that 20.8% EBITDA uplift and stronger BPO & Tech margins against shrinking group net profitability and ask a simple question.
