Voestalpine AG, a prominent player in the steel and technology industry, operates globally with a focus on producing high-quality steel products and advanced metal processing solutions. The company is known for its technological leadership and commitment to sustainability, particularly through its ‘greentec steel’ initiative aimed at transforming steel production to reduce carbon emissions.
In the first half of the 2025/26 fiscal year, Voestalpine AG reported a slight decline in revenue but managed to maintain stable earnings, demonstrating resilience in a challenging economic environment. The company’s revenue fell by 5.6% year-on-year to EUR 7,591.1 million, while EBITDA saw a marginal increase to EUR 722.4 million. Despite the revenue dip, the company’s strategic focus on high-quality steel and technological advancements helped sustain its performance.
Key financial highlights include a 12% increase in profit before tax, reaching EUR 278.4 million, and a significant reduction in net financial debt by 28.2%, improving the gearing ratio to 19.5%. The company’s share price also saw a notable rise, increasing market capitalization by 29.9% to EUR 5,208.7 million. However, the company faced challenges in certain divisions, such as the High Performance Metals Division, which experienced a revenue decline due to market conditions and strategic divestments.
Looking ahead, Voestalpine AG remains cautiously optimistic, with management maintaining its EBITDA forecast between EUR 1.40 and 1.55 billion for the full fiscal year. The company expects continued strong demand in sectors like railway systems and aerospace, while ongoing reorganization efforts in specific divisions are anticipated to yield positive outcomes. Despite external challenges, including US tariffs, Voestalpine’s strategic initiatives and market positioning are expected to support its financial stability and growth prospects.
