Leadership change precedes results

What does the next report need to show?

The latest reported figures point to a difficult recovery rather than a completed turnaround.

Three events shape the timeline

Dates investors can mark

The next scheduled reporting date is October 30, 2026, for third-quarter results. The second substantiated date is November 15, 2026, when Arens is due to take up his new role. Together, the dates frame the near-term test for sales, margins and commercial execution.
