Bulls say / Bears say
Sales in the Graphite Solutions segment grew 5.9% to €234.1 m in H1 2026, demonstrating resilience in SGL’s core high-performance materials markets (FinancialFilings).
Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17.7% in H1 2026 from 16.0% a year earlier, reflecting effective cost reductions from restructuring and favorable compensation payments under contract adjustments (SGL Carbon).
SGL was awarded an initial three-year graphite supply contract valued at ~$100 m under a 10-year framework with X-energy for its Xe-100 small modular reactor, securing a long-term revenue stream in the nuclear energy sector (X-energy).
Consolidated sales fell 13.0% to €394.2 m in H1 2026, driven by the discontinuation of unprofitable activities and weaker demand in key segments, limiting top-line growth (SGL Carbon).
Operating cash flow in Q2 2026 was negative at €14 m versus €10 m in Q2 2025, strained by higher freight rates tying up working capital (SGL Group ApS).
The company discontinued loss-making Carbon Fibers business activities amid continued semiconductor market weakness, underscoring demand softness in high-tech industries (SGL Carbon).
