- Krones lowered its currency-adjusted 2026 revenue-growth forecast while retaining its current-year profitability targets.
- The third-quarter statement is scheduled for Friday, November 6, 2026.
- Preliminary figures point to slower revenue momentum before the report.
Krones stock traded at 115.00 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:07 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. That was 1.41% above the EUR 113.40 quote cited in the previous report published on November 3, extending the latest move between the two reports.
The immediate catalyst is Krones' third-quarter statement, scheduled for Friday, November 6. In its ad hoc disclosure dated October 22, the company cut its currency-adjusted 2026 revenue-growth forecast to 1% to 2% from 3% to 5%.
Lower Growth, Stable Profitability Targets
Krones cited unfavorable developments in relevant markets, challenging geopolitical conditions, higher costs for customers and continuing macroeconomic uncertainty. The company said these factors are expected to weigh on fourth-quarter revenue growth.
Management kept its 2026 EBITDA-margin target at 10.7% to 11.1% and its ROCE target at 19% to 20%. Preliminary figures for the first nine months showed revenue of around 4.10 billion euros, or approximately 4.14 billion euros adjusted for currency effects, with currency-adjusted growth of 0.8% year over year.
For investors, the November 6 release will show whether order intake, demand and profitability support the revised outlook. It will also provide the next formal update after management lowered its medium-term 2028 revenue ambition to 6.0 billion to 6.2 billion euros from around 7 billion euros.
