Bulls say / Bears say
First-half incoming orders rose to €1.141 billion from €1.111 billion, with second-quarter orders up to €604 million from €551 million. That gives some support to a recovery in activity, although orders have yet to translate into higher sales. (HEIDELBERG)
Buying manroland sheetfed’s lifecycle business and POLAR’s postpress operations strengthens Heidelberg’s packaging-printing offer and its systems-integration role. A larger service and lifecycle business could provide more repeat sales to balance the cyclical press market. (HEIDELBERG)
Heidelberg is building new activities in defence and energy storage, including an anti-drone venture and a partnership to industrialise energy-storage systems. If these early-stage projects scale, they could broaden revenue beyond printing, though they are not yet a proven earnings engine. (HEIDELBERG)
The company cut its 2026/27 adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to 5.6%–6.6%, from an expectation of a noticeable improvement on last year’s 6.6%. It cited continued cost pressure, adverse product mix and delays in technology projects. (HEIDELBERG)
First-half free cash flow worsened to negative €125 million from negative €64 million a year earlier, mainly as working capital increased; the net result was a €9 million loss. Prolonged cash outflows could limit the resources available for the company’s investments and turnaround. (HEIDELBERG)
The first quarter showed how exposed the core business remains to weaker demand: sales fell 13% to €404 million and the adjusted EBITDA margin dropped to 0.2% from 4.4% a year earlier. The company linked the weakness partly to lower volumes after an Italian subsidy programme ended and to softer demand in EMEA. (HEIDELBERG)
