Wacker Neuson stock holds after Q1 2026 margin rise
Published on 08/20/2026 at 10:51 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Wacker Neuson stock is supported by Q1 2026 revenue of EUR 591 million and an EBIT margin of 7.0%, up 4.5 percentage points year over year, while the latest close was EUR 20.85 on August 19, 2026. The company also carried total debt of EUR 325.7 million in the most recent reporting period.
Q1 2026 sets the tone
One recent earnings snapshot shows why the stock can still draw attention: revenue reached EUR 591 million in Q1 2026, and operating income improved to EUR 164.7 million, with EBITDA at EUR 285.8 million. That mix points to a business that kept scale while lifting profitability.
The same update places the EBIT margin at 7.0%, compared with 2.5% a year earlier, which is a clear 4.5-point improvement. For investors, that matters more than a simple revenue headline because it shows better conversion at the profit line.
Price and balance sheet
The latest quoted share price was EUR 20.85 on August 19, 2026, and the 52-week range in the same snapshot ran from EUR 16.66 to EUR 26.05. That leaves the stock in the upper half of its yearly band, with room still visible on both sides.
Debt of EUR 325.7 million gives another reference point for the current setup. The number does not stand alone, but it helps frame how much operating improvement the company needs to keep translating into equity value.
Business at street level
Wacker Neuson builds light and compact equipment for construction and landscaping customers, including excavators, dumpers, and site machinery. That product mix ties earnings momentum closely to order flow, utilization, and end-market demand in Europe and the United States.
Shares and trading range
As of August 19, 2026, the share price at EUR 20.85 sat below the 52-week high of EUR 26.05 and above the low of EUR 16.66. The stock is therefore trading in the middle-upper part of its 12-month range, where every new margin update matters.
