Kardex Lifts Orders and EBIT in 2025 as Rocket Deal Hits Bottom Line

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest announcement is out from Kardex AG ( (CH:KARN) ).

Kardex reported a strong 2025 performance with bookings up 24.1% to EUR 981.6 million and net revenues rising 7.5% to EUR 850.4 million, driven mainly by its Standardized Systems segment and robust demand for intralogistics automation despite global trade uncertainty. EBIT surpassed EUR 100 million for the first time, but net profit nearly halved to EUR 41.8 million due to a EUR 39 million non-cash write-off linked to the acquisition of startup Rocket Solution, which was integrated as a fourth business unit to strengthen the light-goods portfolio.

Automated Products delivered record revenues with stable margins, while Standardized Systems posted rapid growth in bookings and sales at the cost of lower margins amid heavy investment for future expansion. Kardex increased its order backlog by 26% to EUR 599.2 million, maintained a high 35% ROIC, announced a leadership change at Kardex Mlog, and confirmed a steady CHF 6.00 dividend proposal, underscoring confidence in continued growth from automation, labor constraints, and reshoring trends.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:KARN) stock is a Buy with a CHF350.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kardex AG stock, see the CH:KARN Stock Forecast page.
