Wacker Neuson Group Begins 2026 with Significant Growth

Wacker Neuson Group reports strong results for Q1 2026, with a notable rise in group revenue of nearly 20% to EUR 591.4 million. This growth follows a previous year affected by low demand, with Europe's recovery contributing significantly. The EBIT margin saw a notable increase from 2.5% to 7.0%, driven by higher operating income amidst unchanged costs.

Regionally, European revenues grew by 26.7%, while the Americas experienced a slight downturn of 2.3%, though improved by 7.6% after currency adjustment. Asia-Pacific revenues also increased by 8.3%. Despite an overall positive trend, free cash flow turned slightly negative at EUR -2.6 million due to net working capital changes.

Wacker Neuson confirms its 2026 guidance with expected revenues between EUR 2.2 billion and EUR 2.4 billion. The EBIT margin is anticipated to be between 6.5% and 7.5%. The focus remains on investment in promising projects throughout the fiscal year.
