Of the 16 listed companies that make up the national benchmark index, 11 closed in the red and the remaining five in the green.

Leading the fallers was Teixeira Duarte, which dropped 4.38% to €0.48, followed by EDP Renewables, which fell 3.54% to €13.36, on the day it reported its results for the first half of the year to the market.

The company posted profits of €184 million in the first half of the year, up 96% on the same period in 2025.

The oil company's shares rose by 3.55% to €20, driven by rising oil prices.

CTT's profit fell by 41.6% in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2025, to €12.9 million, influenced by a reduction in EBIT and changes in financial results, the postal service announced on Tuesday after the market closed.
