- OHB CEO Marco Fuchs said the company will participate in the antitrust process surrounding the planned Airbus-Thales-Leonardo merger.

- The company operates across Space Systems, Access to Space and Digital and reported 2025 revenue of approximately EUR 1.2 billion.
OHB is pushing back against the planned Airbus-Thales-Leonardo merger, adding a strategic and regulatory issue to the agenda ahead of its nine-month results. Payload reported on Tuesday, November 10, that OHB CEO Marco Fuchs said: "We are concerned, and we will participate in the antitrust process against it."
The statement places OHB directly in the European debate over a combination of three major aerospace groups. It does not amount to a completed regulatory decision, but it signals that OHB intends to present its concerns during the review process. For investors, the issue matters because any reshaping of Europe's satellite market could affect competitive conditions, industrial positioning and future project opportunities.
Merger dispute ahead of results
OHB's position arrives shortly before the company's scheduled publication of nine-month 2026 results on Thursday, November 12. OHB's Investor Relations calendar lists the results and an earnings call for that date.
The report will give investors a financial counterpoint to the strategic debate. Attention is likely to center on order intake, profitability and management's assessment of execution in its three operating areas: Space Systems, Access to Space and Digital. OHB says the group generated approximately EUR 1.2 billion in revenue in 2025 and employs approximately 4,000 people.
