Wacker Neuson

Wacker Neuson reports a first‑half 2026 sales increase of 16.9% to €1.26 billion and an EBIT rise of 86.6% to €104.7 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 8.3%. The board raised the annual forecast to €2.3–2.4 billion in sales and an EBIT margin of 7–8%, but remained conservative due to weaker order momentum in the second quarter. With a recovery in the construction and industrial cycle plus further internationalization and expansion of the service business, management sees significant upside potential for sales and margin by 2030. » More on finanzen.net
