KSB Reports Robust Order Intake in Q3

Pump and valve manufacturer KSB SE & Co. KGaA experienced a strong third quarter in 2026. The firm saw a 9.5% increase in cumulative order intake compared to the previous year, reaching €2,680 million. Specifically, the order intake for Q3 rose by 10.8% year on year. The Valves Segment had a notable 13.8% increase, while the Pumps Segment rose by 10.9%. This growth was partly fueled by a 57.1% increase in the Mining sales market.

The company also reported a slight increase in sales revenue by 1.6% over the first nine months, with the third quarter showing a 3.8% rise. However, regions varied, with Asia and the Americas showing growth, while Europe stagnated. EBIT rose by 23% compared to Q2 but was slightly below the previous year due to external costs.

Despite challenges such as rising material prices, CEO Dr Stephan Timmermann remains optimistic about the year's outlook, highlighting strong demand from data centers.
