FUCHS SE Reports Strong Performance in First Nine Months of 2026

FUCHS SE has reported a notable 16% increase in sales revenues for the first nine months of 2026, reaching EUR 3,126 million. This growth is attributed to higher sales volumes and inflation. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose by 25% to EUR 409 million, with contributions from all global regions. However, free cash flow before acquisitions dropped significantly to EUR 92 million due to an inflation-driven increase in net operating working capital.

The company has raised its earnings outlook, anticipating approximately EUR 500 million in EBIT and EUR 4.1 billion in sales revenue for the year. Growth in regions like EMEA, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas contributed to this performance. FUCHS continues to navigate challenges, including geopolitical tensions and raw material cost inflation.
