FUCHS SE Revises 2025 Outlook Amid Preliminary H1 Results

FUCHS Group has released its preliminary results for the first half of 2025, indicating sales of €1,804 million, marginally up from €1,764 million in the same period of 2024. However, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) fell to €209 million, compared to €218 million the previous year. The second quarter 2025 EBIT reached €101 million, underperforming the consensus of €112 million.

For the entire year 2025, FUCHS now anticipates maintaining sales and EBIT at 2024 levels. Previously, the company had projected sales of €3.7 billion and EBIT of €460 million. This revision stems from lackluster demand, tariff negotiations influenced by the US, sluggish industrial production in Europe, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The company anticipates these challenges will persist into the latter half of 2025. The full half-year financial report is set for release on July 31, 2025.
