Gold prices dip as hawkish Fed minutes weigh ahead of Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- Renk Group AG has projected further revenue growth in 2025, expecting to surpass €1.3 billion, following a strong fiscal year 2024 performance.
The company’s stock traded higher on Wednesday after it announced a record order intake of €1.44 billion and a 26% rise in adjusted EBIT to €189 million. Renk cited strong defense sector demand as a key driver of its financial performance.
The company’s revenue grew by 23.2% year-on-year to €1.14 billion, marking a new milestone, while the adjusted EBIT margin improved to 16.6% from 16.2% in the previous year.
Based on this solid performance, Renk Group plans to propose a €0.42 per share dividend, representing a 40% increase compared to last year, at its general meeting on June 4, 2025.
Among its business segments, Vehicle Mobility Solutions (VMS) delivered the strongest growth, with revenue rising 32.3% to €699 million, while adjusted EBIT climbed to €140 million from €106 million.
Order intake for the segment increased by 27.2% to €1.015 billion, boosted by major contracts in late 2024. The Marine & Industry division also expanded, with revenue increasing 11.3% to €330 million and adjusted EBIT growing 22.8% to €35 million.
However, order intake in this segment fell by 16.6% to €307 million, partially due to the postponement of naval contracts to 2025.
Meanwhile, the Slide Bearings segment continued its steady growth, with revenue rising 12.6% to €125 million, supported by increased demand for electric motor and generator bearings. Adjusted EBIT for this division increased 23.7% to €21 million.
Renk anticipates further financial expansion, forecasting revenue of over €1.3 billion and adjusted EBIT between €210 million and €235 million for 2025.
The company remains committed to achieving its medium-term targets of €2 billion in revenue by 2028 and €300 million in adjusted EBIT by 2027.
These expectations are backed by a high order backlog of €5.0 billion, positioning Renk well for sustained growth.
The company was recently added to Germany’s MDAX index on March 24, 2025, placing it among the 90 largest publicly listed firms on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
