Gurit Beats 2025 Sales Guidance Despite Strategic Exits and Sees Higher Profit Margins

Gurit Holding AG ( (CH:GURN) ) has provided an update.

Gurit reported preliminary, unaudited net sales of CHF 319.6 million for 2025, a decline of 22% at constant exchange rates due mainly to planned strategic exits, yet slightly exceeding guidance thanks to stronger-than-expected wind sector demand late in the year. The group’s Wind Materials division posted CHF 190.1 million in sales, sharply down overall due to the exit from carbon fibre pultrusion but nearly flat in continuing operations, and benefited from a landmark long-term supply agreement with a leading Western wind turbine OEM for OptiCore-based core kits. Manufacturing Solutions sales slipped marginally to CHF 41.4 million amid delayed Western investment decisions linked to tariff uncertainty, partly offset by robust growth in India and a strong fourth quarter that is expected to carry into 2026. Marine and Industrial sales declined 8.4% to CHF 88.3 million on U.S. tariff-related headwinds and a cautious marine market, but the unit broadened its reach into office furniture, recreational vehicles and subsea applications through new multi-year contracts, building a pipeline that management believes will support growth from 2026 onward. Despite lower revenue, Gurit now expects its adjusted operating margin for 2025 to improve to about 8% from 6.9% in 2024, reflecting the benefits of restructuring and a tighter focus on core, higher-margin activities, underscoring progress in its multi-market strategy and reinforcing its positioning in sustainable wind and industrial composites.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:GURN) stock is a Hold with a CHF13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gurit Holding AG stock, see the CH:GURN Stock Forecast page.
