Bucher Industries AG ( (CH:BUCN) ) has shared an announcement.
Bucher Industries AG reported subdued demand in the first quarter of 2026, with group order intake down 8.9% and sales 7.3% below the prior-year period, though solid order books helped cushion the impact. Kuhn Group saw a sharp drop in new orders after a strong 2025 pre-order season, while Bucher Municipal and Bucher Hydraulics developed positively, and Bucher Emhart Glass experienced a steep, though expected, sales decline.
Despite weaker volumes and rising political uncertainty, the company reaffirmed its 2026 outlook, citing its local production strategy and ongoing cost-saving measures at underutilised sites. Divisional guidance points to comparable sales growth and higher margins at Kuhn Group and Bucher Hydraulics, modestly softer performance at Bucher Municipal, and significantly lower sales and profitability at Bucher Emhart Glass, alongside recent leadership changes and a share-capital reduction.
The most recent analyst rating on (CH:BUCN) stock is a Buy with a CHF410.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bucher Industries AG stock, see the CH:BUCN Stock Forecast page.
