SCHMID GROUP

SCHMID Group reports H1 2026 revenue of €46.0m and a strong Q2 rise to €27.8m; order intake stood at €96.6m through mid‑August. The plant business grew in H1 by 268% to €39.4m, but the adjusted EBITDA margin for 2026 was lowered from >12% to 6–9%. Despite a balance‑sheet cleanup with €33m of new borrowings and a €30.75m debt‑to‑equity swap, the company recorded an operating cash outflow of €29.3m. Investors focused on margin pressure and cash outflow, sending the share price sharply lower, while management expects a stronger second half and further growth potential from new China capacity. » More on de.investing.com
