HENSOLDT

The defence contractor Hensoldt had received 70,000 applications by September for the 1,600 positions advertised this year, CEO Oliver Dörre said. Hensoldt benefits from rising defence spending and employs around 10,000 people, with revenue of €2.5 billion last year. The group is affected by the cancellation of the F126 frigate programme but does not expect this to affect its 2026 annual forecast and sees the dispute over claims as not yet resolved. » Mere på faz.net

HENSOLDT can point to a long Ukraine history and strong operating metrics: orders received and order backlog rose significantly in 2026, and the revenue forecast for 2026 was confirmed. A decisive factor remains an official confirmation and quantification of the satellite contract. » Mere på finanzen.net
