JOST Werke (ISIN DE000JST4000) closed at EUR 59.70 on Xetra on September 24, 2026, down 3.55 percent from the prior close of EUR 61.90. The move came as the commercial vehicle supplier's latest operating figures showed faster revenue growth alongside a 10.0 percent adjusted EBIT margin.

Q2 revenue reaches EUR 440.2 million

According to Onvista, JOST reported its second quarter on August 13, 2026, with revenue of EUR 440.2 million. That was 12.7 percent above the prior-year quarter, while organic growth adjusted for currency and acquisition effects reached 8.9 percent.

The earnings quality was stronger than the sales figure alone suggests. Adjusted EBIT increased 18.5 percent to EUR 43.9 million, and the adjusted operating margin reached 10.0 percent, the lower end of management's 10 percent to 12 percent target corridor.

Hyva integration lifts profitability

The Q2 figures included the continuing integration of Hyva, which expanded JOST's hydraulics and commercial vehicle equipment portfolio. The combination of EUR 440.2 million in quarterly revenue and EUR 43.9 million in adjusted EBIT puts the margin conversion at the center of the investment case.

Net income after taxes reached EUR 15.9 million in Q2 2026, while return on capital employed rose to 16.3 percent. The figures give investors two different signals: operating profitability improved, but the share price still fell 3.55 percent in the September 24 session.

JOST Werke stock stays below its yearly high

At EUR 59.70, JOST Werke stock stood EUR 8.10 below its 52-week high of EUR 67.80 on September 24, 2026, a gap of 11.95 percent. The 52-week low was EUR 48.30, leaving the closing price EUR 11.40 above that level.

Market capitalization was EUR 978,483,000 on the same date. The price reaction therefore contrasts with the Q2 comparison: revenue was up 12.7 percent and adjusted EBIT up 18.5 percent, while the daily share move was negative.
