Q2 Revenue Growth
Revenue of EUR 3.812 billion in Q2 FY2026, up 4% quarter-on-quarter and 6% year-on-year (≈+14% currency-adjusted vs prior year).
Significant Order Backlog Expansion
Order backlog increased by around EUR 4 billion quarter-on-quarter to approximately EUR 25 billion (≈+25% year-on-year), with continued growth into the current quarter.
Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) Momentum
PSS revenue EUR 1.260 billion (+8% QoQ); segment earnings EUR 257 million and margin 20.4% (up from 17.4% QoQ). Strong leadership in AI data-center power solutions; confirmed targets of EUR 1.5 billion for this fiscal year and EUR 2.5 billion for FY2027. Gallium nitride ramp and silicon carbide demand driving low double-digit growth for SiC.
Green Industrial Power (GIP) Recovery
GIP revenue EUR 403 million, up 15% quarter-on-quarter from a weak seasonal prior quarter; segment earnings EUR 47 million with margin improving to 11.7% (from 8.9% QoQ).
Automotive Market Leadership & MCU Share Gains
Defended global leadership in automotive semiconductors for the sixth consecutive year; increased microcontroller market share from 32% to 36% year-on-year (+4 percentage points).
Upgraded Full-Year Guidance and Margin Outlook
Raised FY2026 revenue guidance to more than EUR 16 billion (vs ~EUR 14.7 billion in 2025) and now expect a segment profit margin of around 20% (up from prior high single-digit expectation). Q3 revenue guidance ~EUR 4.1 billion (+8% QoQ).
CapEx and Free Cash Flow Improvements
Planned capex ~EUR 7.2 billion in FY2026 (including ~EUR 500 million accelerated AI-related investments). Free cash flow improved to -EUR 63 million in Q2 (vs -EUR 199 million prior quarter). FY reported free cash flow raised to ~EUR 1.25 billion and adjusted FCF to ~EUR 1.65 billion.
AI & Data Center Opportunity and Capacity Actions
Sustained high demand and allocation for AI power solutions, strong semiconductor value per kW (~USD 175 average). High utilization in 300-mm fabs and accelerated capacity ramp plans (including Dresden smart power fab opening July 2) to capitalize on AI data center tailwinds.
