February 27, 2026 [Reuters]- Chilean industrial conglomerate Empresas Copec on Thursday posted an 26% jump in net profit for the last quarter of 2025, hitting $242 million, from revenues that rose 11% to $7.7 billion.

Earnings landed comfortably above the expectations of analysts polled by LSEG, who had predicted a fourth-quarter profit of $142 million from revenues of $7.1 billion.

In an earnings statement, Copec said that a railway logistics project being built alongside its Sucuriu pulp mill complex in Brazil should be completed towards the end of next year, in line with the expected start-up of the plant.
