  • Applied Nutrition's sales rose 56.5% and pre-tax profits jumped 77.1% for the half-year to January 2026.
  • The company expects some sales reduction in the Middle East due to conflict but still targets £140 million annual revenue.
  • Shares fell up to 15% on Monday, with analysts attributing it to 'sell the news' behavior despite strong results.

9 million for the half-year period compared to the previous year. Applied Nutrition still expects to meet annual revenue targets of around £140 million for FY26. However, the company anticipates some reduction in sales volumes in the Middle East during the second half due to disruption from the conflict in the region.

The specific impact of the Middle East conflict on sales volumes and revenue remains unclear. Aftonbladet reports that Applied Nutrition's shares fell by as much as 15% on Monday morning after it mentioned the impact of the Middle East conflict on sales. Market analyst Adam Vettese commented, 'Applied Nutrition’s shares have fallen sharply this morning despite delivering a solid set of interim results that confirmed the upbeat trading update issued in February.

These social gatherings are becoming way more popular than pub gatherings, or club gatherings.
