Hochtief (ISIN DE0006070006) was trading at EUR 389.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 12:04 p.m. CEST, 29.73 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 554.00. The construction group enters the next reporting phase with higher 2026 profit guidance, a large project backlog and a scheduled nine-month update.
Three events shape the picture
On July 27, 2026, Hochtief reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 10.74 billion, up 13.65 percent from EUR 9.45 billion in the prior-year quarter, while earnings per share rose to EUR 3.42 from EUR 2.30, according to finanzen.ch. In July 2026, the company lifted its operational net profit guidance for fiscal 2026 to EUR 1.025-1.100 billion from EUR 950-1.025 billion, as reported by Börse Express. On September 9, 2026, CPB Contractors won the Kwinana Freeway Upgrade in Australia, a project with revenue potential of AUD 250.00 million, the same report said.
What does the backlog mean for earnings?
For investors, the operating conversion of the backlog is the key test. Hochtief had EUR 84.80 billion of orders at midyear, while operating net profit reached EUR 480.00 million in the first half of 2026, up 35.00 percent year over year, according to Börse Express. That combination gives the guidance a measurable operational base, but project execution and margin delivery remain the central variables for the second half.
Results arrive on November 5, 2026
Hochtief is scheduled to publish its results for the first nine months of 2026 on November 5, 2026, according to finanzen.ch. The report will show whether the first-half profit increase is carrying into the period with the highest concentration of full-year delivery requirements.
