Fielmann retail expansion and financial outlook
Overview
Eyewear retailer Fielmann initially announced an expansion strategy targeting up to 100 new stores across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland over the next five years. CEO Marc Fielmann noted that the company holds a significant market share in Germany, which he characterized as “the most competitive optical market in the world.”
Due to weak consumer demand in the German market, the company has lowered its 2026 financial guidance. Fielmann now expects revenue growth of between 2% and 5%, with total revenue projected to reach between €2.5 billion and €2.55 billion, down from previous estimates of €2.55 billion to €2.6 billion.
Additionally, the company has reduced its adjusted EBITDA projections to a range of €560 million to €580 million, compared to the former target of €590 million to €610 million. Despite these downward revisions, management anticipates an acceleration in revenue growth during the second half of the year, driven by store expansion, increased staffing, and productivity improvements.
