KION Group stock (ISIN DE000KGX8881) was trading at EUR 40.34 on Xetra on September 25, 2026, up 2.75 percent from the previous close of EUR 39.26. The move follows a first half in which revenue increased 3.5 percent to EUR 5.687 billion, while order intake declined to EUR 5.8 billion.
Half year revenue reaches EUR 5.687 billion
According to Finanznachrichten on September 14, 2026, KION reported first half revenue of EUR 5.687 billion, representing growth of 3.5 percent from the prior-year period. Adjusted EBIT reached EUR 429.6 million, an increase of nearly 12 percent according to the same report.
The revenue gain shows that KION continued to expand its business in the first six months of 2026. The more important counterpoint is order intake, which stood at EUR 5.8 billion compared with EUR 6.2 billion in the first half of 2025, a decline of EUR 400 million.
Order intake sets the key test
For investors, the order figure is the sharper indicator of future sales visibility than the revenue already recognized. KION's first half revenue grew, but the lower order intake places greater weight on conversion of the existing backlog and on demand in the second half.
KION describes its business as covering material handling and integrated intralogistics solutions, with service activity forming part of its recurring business model, according to its KION Group investor relations page. That structure gives the revenue result a broader base than a single equipment delivery cycle.
