KION stock slips as valuation and 2026 earnings date frame the move

KION Group AG (DE000KGX8881) stock was quoted at €40.07 at 7:30 p.m. on August 17, 2026, with a market cap of €5.47 billion and a 52-week range of €35.80 to €70.45. The German industrial truck maker also carries an estimated earnings date of October 29, 2026, which keeps the next reporting checkpoint on the calendar.
Valuation stays under pressure
The latest quoted price leaves KION down 3.52 percent in the Düsseldorf session and below the €41.75 last close shown for August 14, 2026. On the same snapshot, the stock is still 38.83 percent lower year to date, while the one-month return is 2.03 percent and the one-week move is 2.45 percent.
That mix matters because it shows a share price that has stabilized in the very short term but still trades far below the start of 2026 level of €68.25. The gap between the current quote and the 52-week high of €70.45 keeps valuation and execution in the foreground.
Most recent reported quarter
The latest operating figures visible in the source set point to Q2 2026, when revenue reached €2.92 billion, up 7.7 percent year over year, and net income rose to €112.2 million from the prior year period. EBITDA came in at €489.6 million, down 7.1 percent year over year, which suggests that sales growth did not fully translate into operating leverage.
For investors, the key comparison is the margin mix: revenue growth was positive, but EBITDA moved lower and free cash flow in Q2 2026 was negative at €491.9 million. Total debt also stood at €6.95 billion in that quarter, against cash of €391 million, so balance-sheet discipline remains part of the story.
What the business sells
KION Group's product set spans industrial trucks, warehouse technology, and supply chain systems, including forklifts, pallet trucks, and automation software under the Dematic brand. That mix ties the company to warehouse throughput, factory logistics, and capex cycles in industrial customers.
Share price context
The stock closed at €40.07 in Düsseldorf on August 17, 2026, after a session quote of €40.06 bid and €40.39 ask. The market cap snapshot of €5.47 billion and the 52-week band of €35.80 to €70.45 frame the current valuation range.
