- Adjusted third-quarter revenue reached 2.43 billion euros, above the 2.37 billion euro consensus.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul revenue rose to 1.72 billion euros, with adjusted operating profit up 20 percent.
- MTU raised its 2026 revenue outlook while leaving adjusted EBIT guidance unchanged.
MTU Aero Engines raised its 2026 revenue outlook on Thursday, October 29, 2026, after third-quarter sales exceeded expectations. A Reuters report said adjusted quarterly revenue reached 2.43 billion euros, above the 2.37 billion euro company consensus, while adjusted operating profit rose to 349 million euros but missed the 354 million euro analyst forecast.
MTU Aero Engines stock traded at 332.35 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 10:37 CEST on Friday, October 30, 2026, 0.49 percent below the Xetra close of Thursday, October 29. Investors were weighing stronger demand in maintenance against weaker profitability in original equipment manufacturing.
Maintenance, repair and overhaul remained the main growth engine. Revenue in the business rose to 1.72 billion euros, while adjusted operating profit increased 20 percent. Airlines are keeping engines in service longer as supply-chain disruptions and aircraft delivery delays support demand for maintenance services.
Higher sales range, steady profit target
MTU lifted its 2026 revenue outlook to between 9.5 billion and 9.7 billion euros from the previous range of 9.2 billion to 9.7 billion euros. The company also increased its cash conversion target. Adjusted free cash flow reached 172 million euros in the third quarter.
The adjusted EBIT target remains between 1.35 billion and 1.45 billion euros. The unchanged profit range means the outlook revision improves the top-line floor without raising the operating-profit target. For investors, the update strengthens the case for continued aftermarket momentum, while delivery constraints and weaker original-equipment profitability remain important risks.
MTU Aero Engines stock also reflects a wider earnings debate: maintenance demand is providing resilience, but production bottlenecks can delay engine deliveries and shift revenue between periods. The next quarterly update will show whether the higher sales range is translating into sustained profit growth.
