Bucher Industries AG ( (CH:BUCN) ) has provided an update.
Bucher Industries reported a 4.6% increase in group order intake to CHF 2.88 billion in 2025 as market conditions stabilised, particularly in Europe, despite continued economic policy and trade-tariff uncertainties; however, net sales fell 7.6% to CHF 2.91 billion, reflecting a low starting order book and weaker demand in certain segments, notably glass-forming machinery. The company expanded cost-saving measures and reduced headcount, especially in the US, while benefiting from a CHF 43 million gain on the sale of a non-operational property and targeting an underlying operating margin of around 8% for 2025 and 2026; divisions showed mixed performance, with Kuhn Group and Bucher Hydraulics driving order growth, Bucher Municipal holding sales at high levels with margin improvement, Emhart Glass facing significantly lower orders and profitability, and a share buyback programme progressing toward its 4% capital target, underscoring management’s focus on cash generation and shareholder returns amid a subdued but improving demand environment.
The most recent analyst rating on (CH:BUCN) stock is a Hold with a CHF380.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bucher Industries AG stock, see the CH:BUCN Stock Forecast page.
