Schaeffler's Preliminary Results for First Nine Months of 2026

Schaeffler AG announced its preliminary results for the first nine months and third quarter of 2026, demonstrating solid performance despite a challenging environment. The group's revenue reached 17.5 billion euros, slightly down from 17.7 billion euros in the previous year. The EBIT margin before special items improved to 4.5% from 4.2% in the same period last year.

The E-Mobility division's revenue rose to 3.9 billion euros, with an improved EBIT margin of -14.8%. Notably, Schaeffler made one-off special charges of around 240 million euros to address overcapacity. Despite this, the company confirmed its 2026 guidance and aims to grow in the Chinese electromobility market.

Additionally, Schaeffler's humanoid robotics business saw an increase in new orders to 400 million euros. The company remains focused on achieving break-even for the E-Mobility division and continues to implement its China strategy.
