An announcement from Bucher Industries AG ( (CH:BUCN) ) is now available.
Bucher Industries navigated a challenging economic and political backdrop in 2025 with stabilising demand, particularly in Europe, and higher order intake led by Kuhn Group and Bucher Hydraulics, even as group sales fell 7.6% due to a low starting order backlog. Profitability held up, with the operating margin improving to 9.7% aided by a CHF 43 million property sale, group profit edging up to CHF 235 million, and a solid balance sheet underpinned by strong free cash flow of CHF 365 million and net cash of CHF 498 million, supporting continued investment and a proposed dividend alongside an ongoing share buyback and a planned change in the chair of the board.
Division performance was mixed, as Kuhn Group saw a 16% surge in order intake on recovering farmer demand but a 9% drop in sales and a lower margin due to weaker U.S. volumes, higher tariffs and capacity underutilisation, while Bucher Municipal maintained sales at prior-year levels and lifted its operating margin to 9.4% on stable markets and strong demand for compact sweepers and sewer cleaning vehicles. The group’s robust cash generation, high equity ratio and improved returns on operating assets strengthen its financial flexibility and position it to pursue growth, even as selective segments such as glass forming machines remain under pressure and order backlogs moderate in some business lines.
The most recent analyst rating on (CH:BUCN) stock is a Buy with a CHF400.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bucher Industries AG stock, see the CH:BUCN Stock Forecast page.
