Deutz's FFG Deal Redraws Its Register as Orders Outpace Sales
Published on 11/15/2026 at 14:10 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Daimler Truck now holds a reportable 2.21% of Deutz's voting rights, down from 4.19% in its previous disclosure, according to a mandatory notification dated 4 November. The drop stems from a change in the total number of voting rights rather than any sale of stock, and the Stuttgart truck maker's economic stake is unaffected.
The shift in the denominator traces back to the completed acquisition of Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft for EUR 1.6 billion, which Deutz part-funded through a non-cash capital increase. Registering that capital measure pushed the FFG Beteiligungsgesellschaft, Universum Holding, BRIMA and J.O.S.S. Beteiligungsgesellschaft past several voting-rights thresholds. Together the four investor groups hold roughly 29.9% of Deutz's voting rights, equal to about 71.6 million votes out of a total base of around 240 million. The filing explicitly tied the threshold breaches to the capital increase connected with the FFG transaction.
A separate disclosure had already flagged the change on Tuesday, when FFG Beteiligungsgesellschaft, Erichsen Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG, Norbert Erichsen and other notifying parties reported their combined stake of around 29.9% following registration of the capital increase. Those investors have named Norbert Erichsen and Gorm Iver Gondesen as candidates for the supervisory board, with Erichsen seeking the chairmanship.

Nine-Month Orders Jump 30%
On the operating side, Deutz reported on 5 November that order intake for the first nine months of 2026 climbed 30.4% to EUR 1.96 billion, while revenue advanced 11.3% to EUR 1.67 billion — meaning the order book grew nearly three times as fast as sales. Adjusted EBIT rose 36.0% to EUR 118.2 million, lifting the adjusted EBIT margin to 7.1% from 5.8% a year earlier. For the third quarter alone, revenue came in at EUR 553.9 million and adjusted EBIT at EUR 38.5 million.
Deutz also extended finance chief Oliver Neu's contract through 30 September 2032. The next entry on its financial calendar is 30 March 2027, when the company will publish its 2026 annual report and hold its balance-sheet press conference with analysts and investors.
