Bechtle stock gets second 2026 EBT forecast upgrade

Bechtle raised its 2026 earnings outlook again on Thursday, November 5, after preliminary third-quarter figures showed continued growth despite a high prior-year comparison base. In an EQS announcement published through Deutsche Boerse, the company said third-quarter business volume rose 19 percent to approximately 2.44 billion euros and earnings before tax increased 14 percent to approximately 92 million euros.

Profit forecast moves above ten percent

Bechtle now expects 2026 EBT to grow by more than 10 percent, compared with its previous range of 5 percent to 10 percent. The company left its business-volume outlook at growth of more than 10 percent and its revenue outlook at 5 percent to 10 percent.

Management said the strong performance continued into the fourth quarter and pointed to a record order backlog. It still expects EBT as a percentage of business volume to decline slightly from the prior-year level of 3.8 percent, indicating that the higher earnings outlook does not depend on an improved margin ratio.

Final figures due next week

Bechtle will publish final third-quarter and nine-month results on Friday, November 13, 2026. Those figures should show whether the preliminary performance and the upgraded full-year target are confirmed.

The real-time quote of Bechtle stock was 34.68 euros on Xetra at 5:19 p.m. CET on Thursday, November 5, 2.36 percent above the Xetra close of Wednesday, November 4.
