Feintool International Holding AG ( (CH:FTON) ) has provided an announcement.

Feintool reported that its 2025 performance reflected a weak, regionally mixed market, with global automotive demand growing modestly and industrial demand subdued, but the group maintained operational flexibility, defended its core automotive position and selectively gained share in industrial and green energy applications. Its strategy of concentrating on fineblanking, forming and electrical sheet stamping, and expanding capabilities in electric motor cores and hydrogen-related components, is reinforcing its role in electrified mobility and diversified industrial uses.

Despite an 8.1% decline in group sales to CHF 661.4 million, Feintool returned to a positive EBIT of CHF 4.7 million thanks to restructuring and efficiency measures that lowered its break-even point and improved earnings quality. The completion of major site optimizations in Switzerland, Germany, Hungary and the Czech Republic, along with targeted investments in electrical sheet stamping and hybrid applications, is expected to deliver annual savings of about CHF 12 million from 2026 and structurally support free cash flow, even as Europe’s EV market remains challenging and growth shifts towards Asia and a recovering U.S. business.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:FTON) stock is a Hold with a CHF11.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Feintool International Holding AG stock, see the CH:FTON Stock Forecast page.
