Buyback reaches 843,626 shares

The latest purchase covered five trading days and was executed through Xetra, giving the capital-return program a concrete scale rather than a merely announced framework. The average purchase prices listed for those days ran from EUR 15.79 to EUR 16.46, according to Wallstreet Online.

For investors, the buyback is unfolding against a share price that remains materially below its yearly peak. The Lang & Schwarz quote was down 0.37 percent versus the prior close of EUR 16.31, while the current market capitalization stood at EUR 401.6 million on October 5, 2026.

Third-quarter margin offsets revenue decline

Stabilus generated EUR 299.51 million of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, down 4.40 percent from the comparable period, while adjusted EBIT margin increased to 10.80 percent from 10.50 percent, according to Investing.com.

The operating mix explains the contrast. Industrial revenue grew 8.00 percent organically and aerospace and defense revenue rose 35.00 percent year over year, offsetting a 15.00 percent decline in automotive revenue, the same third-quarter summary reports. Net debt fell to EUR 554.00 million from EUR 631.00 million, while management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance of EUR 1.15 billion revenue, a 10.00 percent EBIT margin and EUR 90.00 million free cash flow.

Next report is due December 7

Stabilus lists its Annual Report 2026 for December 7, 2026, followed by the fiscal 2027 first-quarter statement on January 25, 2027, according to the company's investor-relations calendar. That schedule gives the market a defined next reporting milestone after a quarter in which margin improvement contrasted with lower revenue.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The reference quote was EUR 16.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 1:29 p.m. CEST, down 0.37 percent against the EUR 16.31 prior close. The EUR 25.05 52-week high leaves the stock 35.13 percent above the current euro price, while the quoted 52-week low is EUR 13.18.
