Oatly Group AB expected to post a loss of 68 cents a share - Earnings Preview

What happened

Oatly Group AB is expected to report results on October 28 for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. Analysts expect revenue to rise 8.5% to $241.765 million and a loss of 68 cents a share.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

A loss of 68 cents a share means costs are expected to exceed profit per sale. If revenue grows but the company still loses money, investors may question whether higher sales are translating into a path toward profitability.

Analyst inference

The average analyst rating is buy, with three buy ratings and two holds. The median 12-month price target is $17.50, about 44.7% above the last closing price of $12.09, suggesting analysts see upside despite expected losses.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether reported revenue reaches the $241.765 million estimate, an 8.5% increase from $222.8 million a year earlier, when Oatly reports on October 28. Confirmed
2. Watch whether the company narrows its loss per share toward the 68-cent estimate, since past quarters showed large misses, including a steep loss in September 2025. Proposed
3. Watch whether revenue growth is accompanied by improved profit per sale, which would indicate costs are being controlled and could support the buy ratings and $17.50 price target. Analyst inference
