FUCHS SE reported stronger earnings for the first nine months of 2026 on Friday, October 30, and raised its full-year EBIT outlook.

Strong earnings, cautious volume outlook

In the nine-month period, revenue increased 16 percent to EUR 3.126 billion, according to the FUCHS SE earnings release published via finanzen.at. EBIT rose 25 percent to EUR 409 million, lifting the EBIT margin to 13.1 percent from 12.1 percent a year earlier. Profit after tax increased 23 percent to EUR 281 million.

Management now expects full-year EBIT of around EUR 500 million and revenue of around EUR 4.1 billion. The company cautioned that the strong third-quarter performance should not be extrapolated, citing volatile market conditions, raw-material risks and slower sales-volume growth toward year-end.
