Pihlajalinna recently reported improved profitability. In 2025, adjusted EBITA rose 18.3% to EUR 65.3 million, and earnings per share increased to EUR 1.58, although full-year revenue declined 7.4% to EUR 652.3 million following changes in public sector outsourcing agreements and the divestment of residential care units.

Wirén, a medical doctor, founded Pihlajalinna in 2001 and currently serves as a member of the company’s board. He previously led the healthcare group as chief executive and chaired its board between 2016 and 2023.

The company’s shares were trading around EUR 13.15 this morning, slightly below the previous close of EUR 13.20.
