FUCHS SE reported strong first-nine-month results on October 30 and raised its full-year outlook, while management cautioned that late-year volume growth may slow. The company’s investor-relations release said sales revenue rose 16 percent to EUR 3.126 billion and EBIT increased 25 percent to EUR 409 million.

FUCHS SE raised its 2026 sales revenue outlook to around EUR 4.1 billion and its EBIT outlook to around EUR 500 million, up from the previous range of EUR 460 million to EUR 480 million. Earnings improved across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.

Cash conversion remains a counterweight

Free cash flow before acquisitions fell to EUR 92 million from EUR 181 million a year earlier. Higher purchasing and selling prices increased operating working capital, making cash conversion an important counterweight to the stronger profit performance.

Management expects fourth-quarter revenue to remain above the prior-year level but sees slower volume growth because of first-half pull-forward effects and seasonal factors. Sales-volume, cost, margin and raw-material risks remain relevant as investors assess whether the strong third-quarter performance can continue.
