- Third-quarter organic growth accelerated to 13%, while adjusted EBITAC margin excluding robotics reached 25.3%.
- Hexagon expects three acquisitions to close in the fourth quarter and plans commercial revenue from its AEON humanoid robot in 2027.
Hexagon entered the fourth quarter with stronger operating momentum after reporting its third-quarter results on October 23, 2026. As reported by Investing.com, organic growth accelerated to 13%, the strongest pace in five years, while adjusted EBITAC margin excluding robotics rose to 25.3%.
The real-time quote of Hexagon stock was 10.02 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 15:39 CET on Friday, October 30, 2026, 0.22 percent above the Xetra close of Thursday, October 29.
What changed in the latest quarter
Growth was broad across Hexagon's operating areas. Autonomous Solutions expanded organically by 23%, Manufacturing Intelligence by 16% and Infrastructure & Geospatial by 4%. The company also held gross margin at about 62% despite strong sensor growth.
Profitability improved despite a difficult comparison. Management said the prior-year margin had benefited from a large one-off defense order. Excluding such effects, the underlying EBITAC improvement was 450 basis points year on year, supported by cost savings, currency and stronger organic growth.
Acquisitions and AEON remain key drivers
Hexagon expects Waygate Technologies, Rocscience and Guidance Marine to close during the fourth quarter. Management described Rocscience as a complementary addition to the group's monitoring, simulation and mining-planning activities. The company ended the quarter with net debt of 489 million euros, down from 532 million euros.
AEON also reached further commercial milestones. Two new customers joined during the quarter, while existing customers BMW and Schaeffler began training the humanoid independently for specific use cases. Management expects revenue from the robotics business in 2027, although investment will continue before the project reaches break-even.
