Wacker Neuson stock (ISIN DE000WACK012) was last at EUR 23.50 on Xetra at 5:35 p.m. CEST on October 5, 2026, down 0.84 percent from the previous close. The construction equipment maker is balancing that market reading against first-half 2026 EBIT growth of 86.6 percent to EUR 104.7 million, according to Aktien-Global on September 21, 2026.

First-half growth changes the picture

Revenue increased 16.9 percent to EUR 1.26 billion in the first six months of 2026, while the EBIT margin reached 8.3 percent. The combination matters because operating profit grew much faster than sales, pointing to stronger operating leverage in the reported period.

Second-quarter revenue was EUR 665.1 million and net income was EUR 41.4 million, according to the quarterly financial data for Q2 2026. Those figures put the half-year revenue total at EUR 1.26 billion and show that the second quarter contributed more revenue and profit than the first quarter.

Guidance leaves room for execution

Wacker Neuson raised its 2026 revenue guidance to EUR 2.3 billion to EUR 2.4 billion from a previous range of EUR 2.2 billion to EUR 2.4 billion. The EBIT margin range also moved to 7 percent to 8 percent from 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent, as reported by Aktien-Global.

The range is deliberately broad. The first-half revenue of EUR 1.26 billion already represents more than half of the lower end of the full-year target, while the 8.3 percent first-half EBIT margin sits above the full-year guidance range. That comparison makes second-half demand and order intake central to the investment case.

Next results arrive in November

Wacker Neuson's investor-relations calendar schedules the nine-month 2026 report and earnings call for November 12, 2026. The company sells compact machines, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, spare parts and services through the Wacker Neuson, Kramer and Weidemann brands, giving the margin trend a direct link to product mix and service activity.

The main counterweight is the cyclical exposure to construction and agriculture. A slower project cycle would test whether the first-half margin improvement can continue, while the current guidance already spans EUR 100 million of revenue between its lower and upper ends.

Stock stays below the yearly high

At EUR 23.50 on October 5, 2026, Wacker Neuson stock stood EUR 2.55 below its 52-week high of EUR 26.05 and EUR 6.84 above its 52-week low of EUR 16.66. The market capitalization was EUR 1.6 billion and trading volume was 52,697 shares on the same Xetra snapshot.
