OHB stock (ISIN DE0005936124) was trading at EUR 159.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026 at 1:39 p.m. CEST, up 1.20 percent versus the prior close of EUR 158.00. According to OHB on October 5, 2026, Alexander Dahm became CEO of Rocket Factory Augsburg, succeeding Prof. Dr. Indulis Kalnins and taking responsibility for the path to the RFA ONE maiden flight.

Three milestones set the operating context

OHB's recent sequence combines commercial scale, mission execution and management change. On August 31, 2026, OHB received a contract worth nearly EUR 1.00 billion for 18 satellite platforms, according to Börse Express.

On October 2, 2026, OHB reported that its ATHENE-1 satellite had reached low Earth orbit and would support 22 scientific experiments. The October 5 appointment of Dahm then added an operational figure: he brings more than 30 years of aerospace and defense leadership experience.

What does the RFA change add?

The appointment gives Rocket Factory Augsburg an executive whose background centers on production, procurement, quality and logistics. That emphasis matters because the RFA ONE program still has to move from development toward a maiden flight, while OHB's broader project pipeline requires disciplined delivery.

The latest reported figures show why execution is central. In the first half of 2026, OHB's total performance rose 11.00 percent year over year to EUR 627.90 million, while adjusted EBIT increased 46.00 percent to EUR 39.00 million, according to Börse Express. Adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 60.00 million, up 31.00 percent from the prior-year period, giving investors a quantified operating benchmark alongside the new leadership signal.

Results date gives the next test

OHB's investor-relations calendar lists November 12, 2026 for the nine-month 2026 results and earnings call. The same calendar names the Deutsche Bank Global Space and Defense Tech Summit for November 17-18, 2026, according to OHB. Those dates should give the market fresh evidence on project execution and profitability.

OHB stock rises with the next milestones ahead

OHB had a market capitalization of EUR 3.3 billion as of October 9, 2026. The combination of 11.00 percent first-half growth, a 46.00 percent adjusted EBIT increase and a new RFA chief leaves execution as the clearest link between the company's project ambitions and its valuation.
