StrabAG
Austria's largest construction group Strabag is expected to have achieved a higher operating profit margin in the 2025 financial year than previously thought. The EBIT margin is likely to have reached "at least 6.5 percent" - instead of the previously expected "at least 5 percent", as the company announced on Tuesday as "insider information". The forecast for construction output, on the other hand, was lowered slightly - from EUR 20.5 billion (plus 7 percent) to EUR 20.4 billion (plus 6 percent).
When the half-year results were presented in August 2025, construction output of around EUR 21 billion was still expected. The expected figure was then revised slightly downwards to around EUR 20.5 billion in mid-November and now "according to the current status" once again.
The Management Board's new assessment that "the previously forecast EBIT margin for the 2025 financial year will be significantly exceeded" is based on an "assessment of indicative key figures completed today".
"Positive effects from major projects in Germany and in international business, particularly in the infrastructure sector, were among the main reasons for the higher result," the Group explained in a press release. As in the previous year, mild weather conditions in Germany, which led to higher capacity utilization towards the end of the year, had a supporting effect.
Strabag will present the first final figures for the past financial year 2025 and the expectations for 2026 on February 12.
