Rüstungsindustrie: Verzögerungen bei Aufträgen – Rheinmetall senkt Prognose
Im abgelaufenen dritten Quartal verzeichnet der Rüstungskonzern deutliche Zuwächse. Für das laufende Jahr dämpft Rheinmetall die Erwartungen jedoch.
On Wednesday, the defense conglomerate Rheinmetall announced it had lowered its expectations for the current year due to delays in major contracts. The company now anticipates revenue of approximately €13.2 billion for 2026, down from its previous outlook of €13.7 to €14.2 billion. The revised operating margin is expected to drop from the previously targeted 19 percent to around 18.5 percent.
This downgrade is primarily attributable to a probable delay in securing the order for the Boxer armored vehicle project "Arminius." The company is adjusting its forecast because the corresponding order is no longer expected in 2026. Additionally, delays in the deployment of artillery ammunition are anticipated, with these revenues subsequently postponed to 2027.
The "Arminius" project involves a comprehensive order of Boxer armored vehicles in various vehicle variants to be produced by Rheinmetall and KNDS. In industry circles, it was previously reported that up to 3000 vehicles were being considered.
