AIXTRON SE Revises 2026 Revenue Guidance Upwards

AIXTRON SE, based in Herzogenrath, has revised its fiscal year 2026 revenue expectations upwards due to a surge in optoelectronics equipment demand. The company reported a preliminary order intake of approximately EUR 171 million in Q1 2026, compared to EUR 132.2 million in Q1 2025.

Despite this positive outlook, preliminary Q1 revenues were around EUR 59 million, impacted by a personnel reduction expense, affecting the gross profit which stood at EUR 11 million, with a margin of 18%. The operating result fell to EUR -22 million, primarily due to low operating leverage.

AIXTRON's cash and financial assets totaled EUR 273 million at the end of the quarter. The company now forecasts 2026 revenues at EUR 560 million, up from the previous EUR 520 million, with an expected EBIT margin between 17% and 20%.
