Bystronic updates outlook for the 2026 financial year

Zurich, June 15, 2026 – Bystronic expects higher order intake and net sales in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter. However, order intake, net sales and profitability for the second quarter are expected to be below the Group's previous expectations.

Market conditions in the sheet metal business continue to be challenging. Demand for bending solutions is solid, while demand for laser solutions continues to be impacted by weak market conditions. Lower capacity utilization and pricing pressure in single-machine sales continue to affect profitability. The trend towards automation continues. However, automated solutions typically involve longer lead times, resulting in a slower conversion of the high order backlog into net sales.

Bystronic Rofin, the newly created business unit, continues to have a positive impact on the Group’s

performance, driven by strong demand for semiconductor-related applications.

For the full year 2026, Bystronic expects net sales to exceed the previous year’s level. The growth will likely be achieved primarily through the contribution of Bystronic Rofin. Profitability is not expected to improve versus prior-year level.

Further information on business development and the outlook will be provided with the publication of the Half-Year Report 2026.
