$KTN (-13,9 %) The Austrian technology group Kontron's performance in 2025 was weaker than expected. In addition, the outlook for the current year falls short of expectations.
Last year, turnover fell by almost five percent to just over EUR 1.6 billion, partly due to the sale of a division, the SDax-listed company announced in Linz on Thursday. In addition to the sale of a segment, the focus on higher-margin business put pressure on revenues. Adjusted for special effects, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased by 15 percent to 220.5 million euros.
Analysts had expected a better result. Kontron expects an adjusted operating result of EUR 225 million and revenue of between EUR 1.75 and 1.8 billion in 2026. The experts surveyed by Bloomberg had previously expected higher figures on average. On the other hand, the sharp rise in orders on hand could be seen as positive.
Let's see how the market reacts today, as the last few days have been quite turbulent 🙄
