Oerlikon Posts Strong Q1 Orders and Confirms 2026 Outlook

OC Oerlikon Corporation AG ( (CH:OERL) ) has issued an announcement.

Oerlikon reported a strong start to 2026, with first-quarter order intake rising 17.9% on a comparable basis to CHF 455 million and sales up 5.3% at constant exchange rates to CHF 378 million, despite negative currency effects from a stronger Swiss franc. Growth was driven mainly by the Materials segment, where higher raw material prices and robust demand for critical inputs such as yttrium and tungsten from aerospace and general industry customers offset continued weakness in automotive, tools and luxury goods.

Management highlighted the company’s resilience amid geopolitical tensions and market volatility, citing its diversified end markets and broad geographic footprint, with APAC remaining strong, the Americas showing positive momentum and Europe stabilizing. On the back of the solid order momentum and current backlog, Oerlikon left its full-year 2026 guidance unchanged, signaling confidence in sustained demand for its advanced materials and equipment solutions.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:OERL) stock is a Hold with a CHF3.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on OC Oerlikon Corporation AG stock, see the CH:OERL Stock Forecast page.
