Basic-Fit (ISIN NL0011872650) was trading at EUR 29.15 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 4:03 p.m. CEST, down 1.12 percent from the prior close of EUR 29.48. The latest expansion adds 26 clubs in Germany and Austria for EUR 26 million, giving the stock a concrete growth story as the company integrates its enlarged network.

Club expansion reaches Germany and Austria

According to FinanzNachrichten on September 10, 2026, Basic-Fit agreed to acquire 18 Speedfit clubs in Austria and eight Kraftwerk clubs in Germany. The EUR 26 million cash purchase is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, while the company expects 2026 net debt leverage to remain just above 2.0 times.

The deal would lift Basic-Fit's owned Austrian network from 33 to 51 clubs and its German network from 114 to 122 clubs. The acquired locations include 36,000 Speedfit members and 10,000 Kraftwerk members, creating a defined integration task rather than a purely organic expansion.

H1 growth outpaces revenue

Quartr summarized Basic-Fit's H1 2026 presentation on September 24, 2026: revenue increased 18 percent year over year to EUR 800 million, while underlying EBITDA less rent rose 36 percent to EUR 204 million. Net profit reached EUR 25 million, compared with a EUR 57 million free cash flow outflow in the prior-year period before H1 2026 free cash flow improved to EUR 24 million.

The operating comparison is the important signal. EBITDA growth was twice the revenue growth rate, while memberships reached 6.1 million, up 34 percent year over year, and the club network reached 2,192 locations, up 35 percent. Management also maintained 2026 revenue guidance of EUR 1.64 billion to EUR 1.69 billion and set underlying EBITDA less rent guidance at EUR 430 million to EUR 460 million.

Stock remains below yearly high

Basic-Fit was valued at EUR 1.9 billion on September 30, 2026. Its 52-week range was EUR 22.84 to EUR 36.70, placing the Lang & Schwarz price EUR 7.55 below the yearly high and EUR 6.31 above the yearly low.

Ideal Investisseur lists October 21, 2026, as the next scheduled Basic-Fit revenue release. That date will put membership growth, integration progress and the EUR 430 million to EUR 460 million EBITDA guidance range back at the center of the investment case.
