▼(-18.41% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/26/26
The score is held down primarily by very weak recent financial performance (large losses, falling revenue) and a stressed balance sheet with negative equity, reinforced by bearish technicals with the stock trading well below key moving averages. Offsetting these risks, the latest earnings call indicated improving momentum via stronger order intake, record backlog, and deleveraging actions, but working-capital-driven cash outflows and near-term margin pressure remain key constraints.
Positive Factors
Strong order momentum and backlog
Accelerating orders, a record backlog and higher intake guidance improve medium-term revenue visibility. If converted into shipments, this demand can support factory utilization, operating leverage and a return toward management’s revenue targets.
Negative Factors
Negative equity and elevated solvency risk
A negative equity position signals limited balance-sheet resilience and reduces financial flexibility. Even after recent deleveraging, SCHMID remains exposed to refinancing and solvency risk if losses continue or working-capital needs remain elevated.

SCHMID Group NV Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Aug 25, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 24, 2027
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed an overall positive trajectory driven by strong deleveraging, a sharp acceleration in order intake and clear operational initiatives (Sprint cost savings, China campus consolidation, and purchasing targets). Management maintained revenue and margin targets for the year while providing visibility that a large portion of incremental orders is already in negotiation. Offsetting the positives are near-term margin pressure, a sizeable operating cash outflow driven by increased working capital (14% of LTM sales vs target ≤10%), one-off restructuring and listing costs, FX losses compared with the prior year, and labor/capacity ramp constraints that stretch into H2/2027. Taken together, the company appears to be in a transitional, but improving, position with stronger financial stability and order momentum that should support a stronger second half and 2027, while short-term profitability and cash conversion remain areas of focus.Positive Updates
Successful balance sheet repair and financing
Raised €33.0M of net capital via convertible and SEPA financings; completed a ~€30.8M debt-to-equity swap that reduced total debt from €53M to ~€23M (≈56.6% reduction). Additional $20M convertible raised in July and €21M of standby equity remaining unused.
Negative Updates
Lower-than-expected gross margin in H1
Reported gross profit margin of 21.2% in H1, below management expectations; margin pressure attributed to lower scale and a shift toward lower-margin China production that management expects to reverse in H2.
