KSB reports a Q2 sales increase of 0.5% to just under €760m, while EBIT fell by just over 6% to €58.5m. The result was weighed down mainly by the pump business in the chemical industry and by a globally challenging environment after the conflict between the US and Iran that flared up in February. Order intake rose by around 2% to just over €836m. For 2026 KSB confirms its annual targets with an order range of €3.1–3.5bn, sales guidance of €2.9–3.2bn and expected EBIT of €220–265m. » More on finanzen.net
