Published on 08/29/2026 at 10:56 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Hochtief AG (DE0006070006) traded at EUR 177.00 on August 28, 2026, with a market value of EUR 13.4 billion and a 52-week range of EUR 88.60 to EUR 188.00. The stock also had a listed next earnings date of November 5, 2026.
Half-year numbers still matter
Hochtief posted H1 2026 revenue of EUR 15.0 billion, adjusted EBIT of EUR 411 million and net profit of EUR 213 million. Revenue rose from EUR 13.2 billion in H1 2025, adjusted EBIT improved from EUR 348 million and net profit increased from EUR 171 million, so the comparison is clear.
The half-year order intake reached EUR 22.1 billion, up from EUR 20.3 billion a year earlier, while backlog was EUR 66.7 billion. That mix gives investors a concrete read on execution: more work in hand, more revenue and better earnings than in H1 2025.
What the market is pricing
On August 28, 2026, the shares also changed hands at EUR 424.00 at 4:28 p.m. local time in one market snapshot, with 21,174 shares traded and the 52-week high still marked at EUR 554.00. Another market view showed EUR 426.80 at the open, which keeps the stock close to its recent trading band.
The latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026, when earnings per share came in at EUR 3.42 versus EUR 2.30 a year earlier and revenue reached EUR 10.74 billion versus EUR 9.45 billion in the prior-year quarter. Analyst estimates for 2026 point to EUR 14.31 per share, and that forecast sits above the 2025 dividend of EUR 6.60.
Projects and backlog
Hochtief's business is built around large infrastructure, transport and energy projects that can run for years and depend on order intake as much as on headline revenue. The company said its project pipeline spans complex build-outs with multibillion-euro budgets, which is why backlog now carries so much weight for the second half of 2026.
Hochtief shares near range
Hochtief stock remains a Frankfurt-listed EUR name with a large order book, a EUR 66.7 billion backlog and a H1 2026 earnings base that is stronger than a year earlier. For investors, the key numbers are the EUR 177.00 market snapshot, the EUR 15.0 billion half-year revenue and the EUR 22.1 billion order intake.
