Rheinmetall stock (ISIN DE0007030009) traded around EUR 1,020.51 on Xetra on September 15, 2026, up 2.39% from the prior close of EUR 996.70 as investors reacted to fresh defense orders and Germany’s decision to move ahead with a fourth signals intelligence ship.
New artillery ammunition order supports backlog
According to Rheinmetall in a press release dated September 14, 2026, an international customer has commissioned the group to supply a low five-figure quantity of 155-millimeter artillery shells, with the contract value described as being in the low three-digit million-euro range and deliveries expected in 2027.
The contract is to be booked in the third quarter of 2026, adding to Rheinmetall’s already strong pipeline in ammunition and underpinning medium-term revenue visibility in its weapons and ammunition division.Aktiencheck

Q1 2026 figures show growth but cash flow pressure
Rheinmetall released its fiscal Q1 2026 results on May 7, 2026 and reported revenue growth of 7.7% year-over-year, illustrating that the rearmament-driven demand environment is already translating into higher sales.MarketBeat Operating margin in Q1 2026 was broadly in line with expectations, but operating free cash flow came in at negative EUR 285 million, showing that working capital needs and project timing are still weighing on cash generation.MarketBeat
Despite the combination of higher revenue and weak cash flow, management chose in Q1 2026 to reaffirm full-year 2026 revenue guidance rather than raise it, even as the company highlighted backlog growth of 31% compared with the prior-year period, underlining that the order book is expanding faster than current sales.MarketBeat
