Rheinmetall revises annual outlook downward
German company Rheinmetall expects to achieve revenues between 13.7 and 14.2 billion euros in 2026, a decrease of 300 million euros from its previous forecast, despite recording strong growth in profits and sales during the first half of the year, with sales rising by 39% and profits by 74%. This comes after the cancellation of a major warship manufacturing project for the German government, which led to a downward revision of its financial outlook. The company attributed its strong performance to increased demand for ammunition and weapons driven by higher government spending on armaments, especially with rising tensions in Ukraine and Iran. However, investors have begun to worry about the company's ability to fulfill its growing orders, particularly following the cancellation of some government contracts. Although the company's stock has risen by more than 1,000% over the past five years, it has fallen roughly 25% since the beginning of the year, with a temporary decline after the cancellation of the frigate project in June.
