Overview

Swiss machine‑tool maker Bystronic posted a 9.2 % rise in H1 order intake to CHF 337.7 million but saw flat net sales and a widening loss as EBIT turned negative, while keeping its full‑year guidance. German bottling‑line specialist Krones reported a 4.5 % increase in first‑half order intake to €2.85 billion and a 1.8 % rise in adjusted revenue, with EBITDA margin improving to 10.8 % in Q2 and free‑cash‑flow before M&A moving from a €118.5 million deficit to a €21.3 million shortfall. Krones’ Q2 order intake rose 3.5 % to €1.34 billion. Rheinmetall achieved a 69 % jump in Q2 revenue to roughly €3.29 billion, operating profit of €562 million, and an order backlog exceeding €80 billion, buoyed by a €5.7 billion Romanian contract. Knorr‑Bremse’s Q2 revenue increased 7.2 % to €2.143 billion, with EBIT margin lifted to 14.2 % and a revised 2026 outlook. The July 29 update reaffirmed these trends, underscoring resilient demand and strong order pipelines across Germany’s industrial sector despite broader macro‑economic uncertainty.
