Leonardo's shares entered a new trading session after the company raised its 2026 order outlook following stronger nine-month results. The latest investor focus is shifting from order intake to production capacity, delivery execution and cash generation.

Leonardo stock traded at 49.82 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:09 CET on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Compared with the 50.94-euro quote at 11:51 CET on Wednesday, November 11, cited in the previous report, the price was 2.20 percent lower. The comparison is based on the two Lang & Schwarz quotes and is separate from the Xetra daily close.

Orders Raise Visibility

Leonardo reported nine-month orders of 23.3 billion euros for the January-to-September period, up 27.8 percent from a year earlier. Revenue increased 14.2 percent to 15.3 billion euros, while EBITA rose 37.7 percent to 1.301 billion euros. Adjusted net profit advanced 74.2 percent to 812 million euros.

The figures were published in Leonardo's investor relations update on November 5, 2026. The company raised its full-year order guidance to 29.5 billion euros from 28.2 billion euros.

Backlog Meets Execution Risk

The order backlog reached 60.4 billion euros at the end of September and represented more than 2.7 years of production coverage. Leonardo said the consolidation of Iveco Defence Vehicles added roughly 6 billion euros to the backlog after the acquisition closed on March 18, 2026.

Free operating cash flow remained negative at 68 million euros, although it improved sharply year on year. Net debt reached 3.325 billion euros after the transaction, leaving cash conversion and integration central to the investment case.

Leonardo maintained its 2026 targets for revenue of 22.1 billion euros, EBITA of 2.21 billion euros, free operating cash flow of 1.37 billion euros and group net debt of 2.2 billion euros. Management also retained its double-digit return-on-sales objective.
