JOST Werke SE Increases Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026

JOST Werke SE has announced an enhanced forecast for its fiscal year 2026. The company, known for its crucial systems in the commercial vehicle industry, reported an 11.3% increase in group sales, reaching €426.3 million in the third quarter. This growth was notable across all regions and business lines, with no acquisition impacts. Adjusted EBIT increased by 11.8% to €41.6 million, improving the EBIT margin slightly to 9.8%.

The Executive Board anticipates a 9% to 11% increase in group sales for the full year 2026, an upgrade from the previous single-digit growth expectation. This adjustment reflects sales so far and additional synergies from Hyva integration. Adjusted EBIT is projected to rise by 11% to 14%, with a margin between 9.5% to 9.9%.

Rising input costs are expected in the fourth quarter, but further cost synergies will help manage this pressure until price adjustment clauses become effective. The third quarter's final results will be released on November 12, 2026.
