Strabag raises 2026 annual forecast on record orders
Austrian construction group Strabag has raised its full-year 2026 forecast following a strong first half. The company now expects construction performance to reach nearly 23 billion euros, up from a previous target of 22 billion euros. Profitability expectations have also increased, with a projected operating margin (EBIT margin) of between 5.5 and 6.0 percent, compared to the previous estimate of 5.0 to 5.5 percent.
During the first six months of the year, Strabag's performance grew by 12 percent to nearly 10 billion euros. The group's net profit rose 25 percent to 119.06 million euros. This growth is driven by high demand in infrastructure, particularly for energy and rail projects in Germany and international markets. The company's order backlog has reached a record 36 billion euros, a 27 percent increase. Growth was also supported by the acquisition of the British company Van Elle and a recovery in road construction projects during the second quarter.
