Dassault Aviation reported an adjusted revenue increase of 46% to €4.2 billion in the first half of 2026, after which the stock temporarily gained around 10%. Thales and Indra also benefited from strong figures; Thales increased revenue in the first half by just under 8% and recorded a 22% rise in order intake. The trend reflects Europe-wide rearmament and is also pushing up stocks such as Rheinmetall. » Altro su deraktionaer.de
