Bechtle raised its 2026 earnings outlook on Thursday, November 5, after preliminary third-quarter figures showed stronger operating momentum despite a high prior-year comparison base. In an announcement published by Deutsche Boerse, the company said business volume rose by around 19 percent to approximately 2.44 billion euros in the third quarter of 2026.

Preliminary earnings before tax increased by around 14 percent year on year to approximately 92 million euros. Bechtle said the positive development continued into the fourth quarter and pointed to a record order backlog as the basis for its latest outlook change.

EBT Target Moves Above Ten Percent

Bechtle now expects earnings before tax to grow by more than 10 percent in fiscal 2026. The previous target called for EBT growth of 5 percent to 10 percent, making the change the second full-year forecast increase this year after the July 28 revision.

The company left its business-volume forecast at growth of more than 10 percent and kept its revenue outlook at 5 percent to 10 percent. Management continues to expect EBT as a percentage of business volume to decline slightly from the prior-year level of 3.8 percent. The unchanged margin view indicates that the higher earnings target is supported by operating momentum rather than a forecast improvement in the margin ratio.

Final Figures Due November 13

Bechtle will publish final third-quarter and nine-month figures on Friday, November 13, 2026. Those figures will show whether the preliminary growth rates and the upgraded EBT target are confirmed in the full report.

The real-time quote of Bechtle stock stood at 34.28 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 9:59 a.m. CET on Friday, November 6, 2026, 0.75 percent below the Xetra close of Thursday, November 5.
