Kontron (ISIN AT0000A0E9W5) was trading at EUR 20.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CEST, 0.05 percent above the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 20.34. The company listed a buyback-program notice dated October 5, 2026, while its shares remained 22.56 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 26.28. Kontron carries the announcement on its investor-relations page.

Three dates shape the story

On June 30, 2026, the annual meeting carried EUR 147.3 million of retained profit forward, according to FNE. On August 6, 2026, Kontron published first-half results with revenue of EUR 737.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 100.8 million. On October 5, 2026, the investor-relations calendar listed the buyback-program notice.

What does the backlog say?

The operating picture is stronger on adjusted measures than on reported earnings. FNE said adjusted EBITDA rose from EUR 90.9 million in the first half of 2025 to EUR 100.8 million in the first half of 2026, while the order backlog reached EUR 2.75 billion from EUR 2.495 billion at December 31, 2025. That comparison matters because reported profit included prior-year effects from the disposal of the COM business.

finanzen.net reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 373.36 million, down 5.65 percent from EUR 395.70 million a year earlier. The same report put second-quarter earnings per share at EUR 0.34, compared with EUR 1.12 in the prior-year quarter.

Dates ahead for investors

Kontron lists its third-quarter 2026 quarterly statement for November 5, 2026. The company also schedules roadshows in Paris and Brussels from November 10 to November 11, 2026, followed by a Zurich roadshow on November 12, 2026.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Kontron stock has a market capitalization of EUR 1.2 billion and a 52-week range of EUR 16.34 to EUR 26.28 as of October 19, 2026. The current quote sits closer to the lower end of that range, while the backlog and adjusted earnings provide the main operating counterweight.

Kontron was trading at EUR 20.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CEST, 0.05 percent above the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 20.34. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Kontron stock.
