Rheinmetall’s third-quarter operating profit rose 62% to EUR 553 million. It cut 2026 sales guidance to EUR 13.2 billion from EUR 13.7 billion-EUR 14.2 billion and its operating margin outlook to 18.5% from around 19%. Shares fell about 16% intraday.
Rheinmetall is well positioned to capitalize on the 35% growth in the European defense budget during the next five years.
Political approvals and procurement delays can prevent higher defense budgets from converting into orders, as demonstrated by the cancellation of F126 and repeated delays to major German programs.
