Krones stock steadies as 2025 sales and profit stay solid

Krones stock is anchored by 2025 revenue of EUR 5.29 billion, EBIT of EUR 351.3 million and earnings per share of EUR 7.77, all reported in the companys latest annual figures. Krones AG (ISIN DE0006335003) also ended 2025 with order intake of EUR 5.49 billion, a level that gives the German packaging machinery group a strong base for the next reporting cycle.

EUR 5.29 billion sales

In the 2025 financial year, Krones reported revenue of EUR 5.29 billion, up 4.5% from the prior year, while EBIT rose to EUR 351.3 million and the EBIT margin reached 6.6%. Those numbers point to a business that kept growing even as margins remained in the mid-single-digit range.

Net income came in at EUR 275.5 million in 2025, compared with EUR 228.4 million a year earlier, and earnings per share increased to EUR 7.77 from EUR 6.44. The comparison matters because it shows that profit growth outpaced sales growth over the year.

Order intake at EUR 5.49 billion

Order intake reached EUR 5.49 billion in 2025, above revenue and above the prior year in the companys reported set of figures. That gap between incoming orders and sales is a useful measure for a capital-goods name such as Krones, because it indicates how much work was still flowing into the backlog at year-end.

Another anchor is free cash flow, which Krones reported at EUR 378.8 million for 2025. Combined with net income of EUR 275.5 million, the cash figure shows that profit quality and cash conversion remained important strengths in the latest annual results.

Packaging machinery remains the core

Krones remains a packaging and bottling systems specialist, and that core business is the frame through which the 2025 figures should be read. The companys sales of EUR 5.29 billion, EBIT of EUR 351.3 million and free cash flow of EUR 378.8 million all came from that industrial base, not from a financial-engineering story.

That matters for investors because machinery makers are often judged first on order intake, margin and cash generation. Krones delivered all three in 2025, with order intake at EUR 5.49 billion, an EBIT margin of 6.6% and free cash flow of EUR 378.8 million.

What the latest numbers show

The most recent visible market relevance for Krones stock is therefore less about a single-day move and more about the companys reported earnings trajectory. Revenue rose 4.5% in 2025, EPS rose to EUR 7.77, and net income advanced to EUR 275.5 million.

For readers tracking the name, the key point is that the latest evidence set supports a business with stable sales growth and better profit conversion than a year earlier. Krones stock is tied to those reported metrics until the next update changes the picture.

Packaging systems revenue

Krones offers filling, labeling and packaging lines for beverages, food and other consumer goods, which is why its revenue and order intake numbers tend to matter more than short-term sentiment. The 2025 data show EUR 5.29 billion in sales and EUR 5.49 billion in orders, a spread that is useful in assessing the project pipeline.
