Bulls say / Bears say
Bucher retains a strong balance sheet, with CHF 278 million of net cash and a 66.1% equity ratio at June 2026, supporting continued investment, acquisitions and shareholder returns despite the downturn. (Bucher Industries)
Bucher Hydraulics is showing clear recovery momentum: first-half order intake rose 4.8%, sales increased 3.8%, EBIT grew 15.9%, and the operating margin improved to 10.8%; management expects further comparable sales and margin growth in 2026. (Bucher Industries)
Demand is improving in several non-agricultural businesses: Bucher Municipal’s order intake rose 5.2% and Bucher Emhart Glass’s increased 6.7%, suggesting the group’s diversified portfolio and niche market positions can support an eventual recovery. (Bucher Industries)
Bucher’s first-half 2026 sales fell 4.3%, EBIT dropped 41.0%, EPS declined 36.3%, and operating free cash flow turned negative at CHF 74 million, highlighting significant earnings and cash-flow pressure. (Bucher Industries)
Kuhn Group remains a major cyclical drag: first-half order intake fell 20.9% amid weak agricultural investment, low crop-farming prices, higher input costs and political uncertainty. (Bucher Industries)
Bucher Emhart Glass reported a 25.8% sales decline and a 72.4% EBIT decline, while Bucher Specials posted negative EBIT after CHF 8 million of restructuring costs; low capacity utilisation remains a group-wide margin risk. (Bucher Industries)
