Terveystalo shares fell sharply in Helsinki trading, dropping approximately 12% after the healthcare operator issued a profit warning for the full year.

The Finnish private healthcare provider announced it is lowering its adjusted operating profit (EBIT) guidance to a range of EUR 120 million to EUR 140 million, signaling a significant deterioration in financial outlook compared to the prior year.

The company attributed the downgrade to weak demand during the first half of the year and a broader decline in profitability.

This marks a notable shift for Terveystalo, which has previously navigated a complex post-merger integration landscape.

The guidance cut suggests that operational synergies and revenue growth have not yet offset the headwinds facing the private healthcare sector in Finland.

Investors are now reassessing the valuation of the Nordic healthcare giant, with the sharp sell-off reflecting concerns over near-term earnings power.
