KION

Kion reported better-than-expected order intake, sales and operating profit for the second quarter and specified its annual targets with slightly lower midpoints of the forecast ranges. The adjusted forecast, however, remains above the analysts' average, so experts do not view this as a profit warning, but they acknowledge persistent problems in the forklift business. The stock nevertheless fell about 7.4% to €39 and is down 43% year-to-date, making it the laggard in the MDAX. » Más en finanzen.net

KION reports strong Q2 figures: revenue rose 7.7% to €2.92bn, adjusted EBIT grew 18% to €224m and the margin reached 7.7%. Order intake in H1 fell from €6.2bn to just under €5.8bn. For 2026 KION lowered its guidance ranges to revenue €11.53–12.03bn, adjusted EBIT €880–980m and free cash flow €420–540m; the group now sees the billion-euro threshold for operating profit as out of reach. In response, the share price fell intraday by as much as 6.93%. » Más en finanzen.net

Kion reports Q2 order intake of around €2.8bn (down about 20% y/y), revenue of approx. €2.9bn (up nearly 8%), adjusted EBIT of €224m and profit attributable to shareholders of €115m. Management specified full-year targets: revenue €11.525–12.025bn, adjusted operating result €880–980m, free cash inflow €420–540m and return on invested capital 8.4–9.4%. Analysts point to persistent margin problems in the forklift business and competitive pressure from China. Despite the better figures, the stock fell just over 5% in early trading. » Más en finanzen.net
