ID Logistics Group (ENXTPA:IDL) Stock Catches Margin Squeeze Despite 18% Revenue Growth

The market has spent the past month marking ID Logistics Group down, with the stock now about 9% lower over 30 days and roughly 15% lower over three months. Yet H1 2026 landed with a different message. Revenue reached €2,084.6m and trailing 12 month earnings from continuing operations came in at €67.6m, which keeps the growth story alive but highlights how thin the safety buffer has become.

The real headline is the margin and interest squeeze. Net margin sits at 1.7% and earnings coverage of interest remains tight, which makes every extra euro of profit matter far more than the recent share price drift suggests.

ID Logistics growth story meets operational reality

For a bullish view, ID Logistics still offers some support. Revenue of €2,084.6m in H1 2026 together with higher net income from continuing operations versus H1 2025 points to a business that continues to win work across sectors and regions. Recent North American expansion and the new alcohol facility in New Jersey back up the idea that the contract logistics platform is being scaled into higher value and more regulated niches. The equity case that hinges on growth and diversification is not broken by these numbers.

Margin pressure and governance risks stay in focus

The bearish angles also find backing in the latest figures. A 1.7% trailing net margin and tight interest cover underline how little room for error ID Logistics has if volumes soften or costs rise. The recent PPP settlement in the U.S. adds a governance and compliance question on top of already thin profitability. Share price declines of about 9% over 30 days and about 15% over 90 days suggest investors are now weighing those risks more heavily than the growth narrative.

After a 9% share price decline in a month and thin interest cover, it raises the question of whether this is just normal volatility or a sign of deeper fragility in ID Logistics Group's financial structure.
