Bechtle has raised its 2026 earnings outlook for a second time after stronger preliminary third-quarter figures. In its ad hoc announcement of November 5, the company reported a 19% increase in business volume to 2.44 billion euros and a 14% rise in earnings before tax to 92 million euros. The figures were published by EQS News.

Profit outlook moves higher

Bechtle now expects earnings before tax to grow by more than 10% in 2026, compared with its previous range of 5% to 10%. The company kept its business-volume target above 10% and its revenue guidance at 5% to 10%.

Management continues to expect EBT as a share of business volume to decline slightly from the prior-year level of 3.8%. The revised target therefore points to stronger expected earnings growth rather than a higher forecast margin. Bechtle also cited continued momentum in the fourth quarter and a record order backlog.

Final figures set the next test

The preliminary figures still require confirmation in the full report. Bechtle is scheduled to publish its final third-quarter and first nine-month results on Friday, November 13, 2026.

According to AD HOC NEWS, Bechtle stock traded at 33.68 euros on Xetra at 10:35 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 0.59% below the Xetra close of Tuesday, November 10. The report also places the share within a 52-week range of 24.56 euros to 45.14 euros.
