Akzo Nobel NV has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, indicating a flat revenue performance compared to the same period last year. The company’s revenue was affected by significant divestments and the deconsolidation of its Russian entities, which contributed to a challenging market environment.
According to the filing dated October 21, 2026, Akzo Nobel reported that revenue remained unchanged year-over-year, with a notable 5% decline attributed to the divestment of its liquid coatings businesses in India and the impact of the Russian deconsolidation. However, a positive foreign exchange and other impacts partially offset these losses, resulting in an organic sales growth of 2% driven primarily by a 5% increase in pricing.
Background
Akzo Nobel NV, classified under the SIC code 2800 for Chemicals & Allied Products, operates in the global chemicals sector. The company trades on the OTC markets under the tickers AKZOY and AKZOF. Akzo Nobel is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and has been a key player in the chemicals industry, focusing on paints and coatings.
What the Filing Says
The filing included details on Akzo Nobel’s revenue performance, stating, "Revenue was flat versus Q3 2025, with scope changes resulting from the divestment of our liquid coatings businesses in India and the deconsolidation of the Russian entities reducing revenue by 5%."
