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

Gurit reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 net sales of CHF 75.9 million, with continued operations growing 25.1% at constant exchange rates, driven by strong demand from Western wind OEMs and solid performances in Manufacturing Solutions and Marine & Industrial. Wind Materials sales rose on higher epoxy and glass pultrusion volumes, Manufacturing Solutions more than doubled from a low prior-year base despite delays in non-wind projects, and Marine & Industrial benefited from PET market expansion and Subsea contracts, while the group confirmed its guidance, noted limited current impact from Middle East tensions, and shareholders approved all AGM proposals including the decision to withhold a 2025 dividend to prioritize deleveraging and financial flexibility.

The company highlighted that organizational measures taken in 2025 are bolstering its multi-market strategy and resilience, with Manufacturing Solutions expected to deliver profitable growth in 2026 even as wind-assisted ship propulsion ramps up more slowly due to regulatory postponements, and Marine & Industrial remains a steady long-term growth contributor despite a cautious outlook for boat demand. Gurit signaled it will reassess guidance if geopolitical risks escalate and will revisit dividend reinstatement when balance sheet strength and financing conditions permit, underscoring a focus on disciplined execution and long-term value creation for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:GURN) stock is a Hold with a CHF25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gurit Holding AG stock, see the CH:GURN Stock Forecast page.
