TK Nucera stock slips after EBIT guidance cut

TK Nucera stock is under pressure after a guidance cut tied to its SOEC strategy, with Thyssenkrupp saying the subsidiary's order intake doubled in the first nine months and EBIT guidance for fiscal 2025/2026 was lowered.
Guidance reset
Thyssenkrupp's latest trading update said revenue rose 8% to EUR 8.8 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2025/2026, while adjusted EBIT improved to EUR 183 million from EUR 155 million a year earlier. The same update said the group now expects full-year revenue 1% to 3% below the prior year and still aims for the upper end of its adjusted EBIT range.
For TK Nucera, the notable number is the order intake trend: the subsidiary's order intake doubled in the first nine months, even as management cut its EBIT outlook after stepping back from mass production of SOEC stacks. That pairing matters because it shows demand strength and strategic restraint at the same time.
Market context
The share reaction remains tied to the parent's broader turnaround story, with the stock trading 4.6% below its 52-week high of EUR 14.05 in the cited update. That keeps valuation pressure linked to whether the industrial portfolio reset and hydrogen strategy can translate into cleaner earnings.
Historically, Thyssenkrupp reported a nine-month net loss of EUR 311 million, a reminder that restructuring costs still shape the group picture. The contrast is useful for TK Nucera investors because order growth alone has not yet erased the profit warning.
Product and business model
TK Nucera builds electrolysis systems for green hydrogen, with alkaline water electrolysis at the center of its industrial offering. The SOEC shift cited in the recent update shows how quickly product mix can affect earnings guidance and capital needs.
Price and trading view
As of August 24, 2026, the latest cited market snapshot put Thyssenkrupp at EUR 13.65, down 2.05% on the day, with a 1 January gain of 47.08% and an average target price of EUR 16.12 in the same market view.
