MCH GROUP N Aktie

MCH Group increased revenue by 12% to CHF 248.8 million in the first half of 2026. EBITDA rose to CHF 34.3 million (previously 18.9) and net profit to CHF 18.6 million (previously 5.3), driven by first editions such as Art Basel Qatar as well as Conexpo and Swissbau. Event cancellations in the Middle East, negative currency effects and weaker earnings at Expomobilia had a dampening effect, but the situation has eased since March. The company still does not provide annual targets, but sees a foundation for sustainable profitability through improved operational efficiency and expects a normalization of activities in the fourth quarter with a stronger local focus. » More on finanzen.net

MCH Group closed the first half of 2025 with a net profit of CHF 5.3 million and raised EBITDA to CHF 18.9 million on operating revenue of CHF 222.4 million despite slightly declining sales. The improvement follows efficiency measures and successful events such as Art Basel; the ESC was a logistical highlight but imposed additional costs. For the second half of the year MCH expects revenues to grow again, supported by new partnerships with QSI and QC+ and the one-off sale of the Expomobilia building, but sees exchange rate fluctuations as a risk. » More on finanzen.net
