KSB stock (ISIN DE0006292006) stood at EUR 882 on Xetra on September 24, 2026, up 0.23 percent from the prior close of EUR 880. The latest operating picture is mixed: second-quarter EBIT fell 6 percent to EUR 58.5 million, while order intake increased 2 percent to EUR 836 million.

Q2 orders outpace EBIT

According to Aktiencheck, KSB generated EUR 760 million in second-quarter revenue in 2026. That represented a slight year-over-year increase, but the 6 percent EBIT decline shows that higher sales did not translate into stronger operating earnings.

The order figure provides the more constructive counterpoint. At EUR 836 million, Q2 order intake exceeded quarterly revenue by EUR 76 million, a difference of 10.0 percent based on the reported figures.

Guidance remains wide

KSB retained its 2026 order-intake target of EUR 3.1 billion to EUR 3.5 billion, according to Aktiencheck. The company also maintained its EBIT outlook at EUR 220 million to EUR 265 million.

The guidance range spans EUR 45 million, equal to 20.5 percent of the lower end. For investors, the key issue is therefore not only demand but also whether order growth can support margins after the second-quarter EBIT decline.

Stock sits below yearly high

At EUR 882, KSB stock was EUR 458 below its 52-week high of EUR 1,340 and EUR 56 above its 52-week low of EUR 826 on September 24, 2026. The market capitalization was EUR 1.544 billion on the same date.

The daily gain of EUR 2, or 0.23 percent, was modest. The share price therefore reflected a stable session while the latest operating figures placed margin performance and order conversion at the center of the investment debate.
