FUCHS SE Reports Solid Earnings Despite Challenges

FUCHS SE announced a modest rise in sales for the first nine months of 2025. Sales increased by EUR 34 million, reaching EUR 2,700 million, despite a challenging market environment and negative currency impacts. EBIT, however, declined by EUR 8 million to EUR 326 million, a 2% decrease from the previous year. The third quarter showed improved earnings over the second quarter, which had been affected by tariff policies.

Performance in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions was stable, with slight increases in sales and EBIT. North and South America faced currency challenges, though earnings improved with a better product mix. The company reaffirmed its July outlook for sales and EBIT to match last year's figures amidst a cautious economic context.

The International Monetary Fund projects global economic growth at 3.2%, with Germany expected to see minimal growth. FUCHS maintains a strong financial base, aiming for steady growth despite geopolitical and market pressures.
