- Stabilus met its revised fiscal 2026 forecast despite weaker revenue, adjusted profitability and free cash flow than a year earlier.
- Management lowered its 2030 revenue ambition and narrowed the growth outlook for automotive markets and equipment investment.
- Final fiscal 2026 figures and the annual report are scheduled for December 7, 2026.
Stabilus stock traded at 15.61 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:12 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 4.07 percent above the Xetra close of Monday, November 9, at 15.00 euros. The quote was also 3.31 percent above the 15.11-euro level in the relevant report published earlier on Tuesday.
The underlying corporate update came on Thursday, November 5. In an EQS News release, Stabilus said preliminary fiscal 2026 revenue, adjusted EBIT margin and adjusted free cash flow met its revised forecast.
Outlook shifts to slower growth
Revenue for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, reached 1.1976 billion euros, down from 1.2961 billion euros a year earlier. The adjusted EBIT margin declined to 10.4 percent from 11.0 percent, while adjusted free cash flow fell to 96.1 million euros from 119.0 million euros.
Stabilus now expects 2030 revenue of around 1.5 billion euros, compared with a previous ambition of approximately 2.0 billion euros. The adjusted EBIT margin target is now between 12 percent and 15 percent, versus 15 percent previously. Management cited lower automotive revenue expectations in China and North America and weaker investment appetite for automotive manufacturing equipment.
Around 67 million euros in non-cash goodwill impairments in the Americas region are expected to reduce reported fiscal 2026 EBIT to 63.7 million euros, from 84.3 million euros in fiscal 2025. The charge is excluded from adjusted EBIT and does not affect liquidity or adjusted free cash flow. The management board also plans to propose a dividend of 0.22 euros per share, down from 0.35 euros.
Final numbers due in December
Stabilus plans to publish its final fiscal 2026 figures and annual report on Monday, December 7, 2026, at 07:00 CET. The next report will show whether the preliminary figures and the revised medium-term framework stand after completion of the annual closing process.
