Margin improves despite lower revenue

Stabilus delivered EUR 299.0 million of Q3 FY2026 revenue, with organic revenue declining 4.4-4.5 percent, according to Investing.com. Adjusted EBIT margin nevertheless increased to 10.8 percent from 10.5 percent year over year, a 0.3 percentage-point improvement that points to better cost conversion despite weaker automotive demand.

The segment mix explains the contrast. Industrial revenue grew 8.0 percent organically, while automotive revenue declined 15.0 percent and aerospace and defense revenue increased 35.0 percent year over year, as reported by Investing.com. Management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance of EUR 1.15 billion revenue, a 10.0 percent EBIT margin and EUR 90.0 million free cash flow.

December report sets next date

Stabilus lists its Annual Report 2026 for December 7, 2026, on its investor-relations calendar. The upcoming report will show whether the 10.8 percent quarterly adjusted EBIT margin can offset the 4.4-4.5 percent organic revenue decline and support the reaffirmed full-year targets.
