The student travel operator CTS from Lemgo has been taken over majority-wise by the investment firm Silver Investment Partners; founder Ingo Dobbert and his son relinquished control after more than half a century. According to the industry, CTS now generates annual sales of more than €100 million, organizes 6,500 trips with over 200,000 participants and employs 115 people. Silver Investment Partners partly financed the acquisition with a UniCredit loan; management receives a minority stake, and a new holding called ETG points to a possible growth or acquisition strategy. » Más en faz.net

CTS Eventim increased group revenue in Q1 2026 by 23% to €630m and earnings per share to €0.66 (+27.3%). Adjusted EBITDA rose to €190m, but the adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 19.4% due to segment-mix effects. The share dropped 2.75% after the results; management launched an "Operational Excellence" program and forecasts EPS of €0.86 for Q2 and €3.96 for 2026. Risks remain margin pressure, intensified competition in Europe and macroeconomic uncertainties. » Más en de.investing.com
