An update from Bystronic ( (CH:BYS) ) is now available.
Bystronic reported a weak first quarter of 2026 as geopolitical uncertainties kept customers cautious, pushing order intake down 4% to CHF 148 million and net sales down 15.4% to CHF 128 million. The shift toward fully automated systems extended throughput times and delayed revenue recognition, but also drove a 20.5% rise in order backlog to CHF 290.5 million, reflecting solid demand for automation and digitalization.
The newly created Bystronic Rofin business unit advanced its integration and contributed positively, recording CHF 13.7 million in orders and CHF 11.7 million in sales over its first two months. Management kept its guidance for higher sales and improved profitability despite the soft quarter, underscoring confidence that the enlarged portfolio and automation trend will support the company’s competitive positioning once market sentiment stabilizes.
The most recent analyst rating on (CH:BYS) stock is a Sell with a CHF220.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Bystronic stock, see the CH:BYS Stock Forecast page.
