HUBER+SUHNER Hits Record Orders and Higher Profit as Industry and Data Center Demand Surge

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from HUBER+SUHNER AG ( (CH:HUBN) ) is now available.

HUBER+SUHNER reported 2025 order intake above CHF 1 billion for the first time, up 13.7%, while net sales slipped 3.3% to CHF 864.1 million due to currency effects, but profitability improved with the EBIT margin rising to 10.5%. The company lifted group profit to CHF 74.9 million, strengthened its balance sheet with higher free cash flow and net liquidity, and the board proposed a higher dividend of CHF 2.00 per share, signaling confidence in its earnings quality.

The Industry segment delivered double-digit growth in sales and orders and expanded its EBIT margin to 18.0%, driven by test and measurement, EV fast-charging and especially aerospace and defense demand. Communication saw robust order growth from hyperscale data-center customers for optical circuit switches but a 22.4% sales drop after a strong prior-year India project, while the Transport business stabilized with flat sales and improved margins, and the group is targeting at least 10% organic sales growth in 2026 with an EBIT margin in the upper half of its 9–12% range, assuming markets remain broadly supportive.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:HUBN) stock is a Hold with a CHF173.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on HUBER+SUHNER AG stock, see the CH:HUBN Stock Forecast page.
