Bulls say / Bears say
H1 revenue grew 12%, accelerating to 15.6% in Q2, while Q2 machine orders rose to €550m from €450m a year earlier. The €1.09bn order book gives roughly six months of sales visibility. (Manitou Group)
Recurring operating margin rose to 6.1% from 5.1% and net income increased to €51m from €33m. Manitou raised its 2026 revenue and margin guidance, while net debt fell by €26m from year-end. (Manitou Group)
Manitou is expanding its electric range, with new electric forklift models and initial deliveries of electric telehandlers. This broadens its offer as customers seek lower-emission equipment, although the new models’ sales contribution is not yet clear. (Access Briefing, Manitou Group)
North American H1 revenue fell 8.3%, and the region’s recurring operating loss widened to €22m from €14m. Manitou cited tariffs, a slower market and intense competition. (Manitou Group)
LAPAM revenue declined 8.8% and recurring operating income fell to €3m from €11m. Competition, Middle East delivery delays, higher freight costs and persistent price pressure all weighed on the region. (Manitou Group)
The 2026 recurring operating margin forecast of 5.3%–5.6% is below H1’s 6.1%, signalling that the first-half margin strength may not persist through the year. Manitou also flagged raw-material price pressure and an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop. (Manitou Group)
