This week's StoxEurope deep-dive takes Lotus Bakeries NV (LOTB, Euronext Brussels), the Belgian maker of branded biscuits, snacks and spreads, Lotus Biscoff first among them, through the StoxEurope Valuation Standard.
Lotus has started the largest capacity programme in its history, at least €500 m for Biscoff over 2026 to 2030, while revenue grew 14 % in the first half of 2026. Most of the value lies beyond year five. No peer value is shown: none of the three companies we examined runs a business close enough to Lotus Bakeries’ for its multiple to apply.
