Huber+Suhner confirmed its 2026 targets and presented a strategy focused on industry, communication and transport. The company named aerospace/defence, data centers, rail communications and electric vehicles as strategic growth areas, each with annual revenue potential of over 100 million Swiss francs and expected average growth rates of more than 10%. Particular emphasis is on the data center business: capacities have been significantly expanded, production and storage space quadrupled, and automation lines commissioned in Pisary. For the current year Huber+Suhner confirms organic revenue growth of at least 10% and an EBIT margin between 10.5% and 12%, with a payout ratio of 40–50%; the mid-term target remains revenue of over 1 billion Swiss francs and an EBIT margin of 9–12%. » Más en finanzen.net

Huber+Suhner reported a record order intake of CHF 548m and an order backlog of CHF 517m for the first half of 2026, while net sales rose to CHF 457m. The EBIT margin fell to 9.0% and free cash flow was strained by high investments in the production ramp-up for optical connectivity. Management confirmed the full-year guidance of at least 10% organic revenue growth and an EBIT margin in the upper half of the target range; however, the stock reacted with a decline of around 5.4%. » Más en de.investing.com
