KSB (ISIN DE0006292030) stock was last at EUR 866 on Xetra on October 2, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, up EUR 12 or 1.41 percent from the prior close. The first-half 2026 update showed order intake up 8.8 percent and sales revenue up 0.4 percent, according to Yahoo Finance on August 6, 2026.
Orders outpace sales growth
KSB reported EUR 98 million in EBIT and EUR 60 million in earnings after income tax for the first half of fiscal year 2026, the earnings-call transcript states. The gap between 8.8 percent order growth and 0.4 percent sales growth points to stronger future delivery potential than the first-half revenue figure alone suggests.
The company also reported a first-half order backlog of more than EUR 2 billion. That backlog covers several years of work, including major energy projects, which gives KSB a visible execution base while currency effects and cost pressure remain important variables.
Guidance depends on execution
Yahoo Finance reports that KSB confirmed its 2026 outlook on August 6, 2026. Management also described a structural-cost program targeting EUR 30 million for 2026, while reported material costs rose from 39 percent to more than 40 percent.
The second-quarter recovery is central to that outlook. KSB said profitability in Pumps improved by EUR 19 million in the second quarter, while SupremeServ delivered EUR 46.3 million of profitability in the first half, according to the same earnings-call transcript.
Analysts see room above price
