MOL Group reported a pre-tax profit of $1.25 billion for Q3 2026, driven by high refining margins and rising natural gas prices. The strong performance was partly due to the Upstream segment's success in 10 countries, despite government price regulations affecting retail operations. CEO Zsolt Hernadi emphasized the importance of past investments and rising tax burdens, noting that taxes have increased significantly over the past decade. The company has invested over $10 billion since 2020 in development projects, enhancing energy security and competitiveness. Upstream results improved due to higher natural gas prices, while Downstream benefited from exceptional refining margins. However, retail faced challenges from price controls, and gas transport results declined due to reduced regional demand.
