Strabag Raises Half-Year Profit and Forecast

Targeting a Higher Margin

The background to the positive development includes the strong order backlog in Germany, where Strabag is particularly active in the infrastructure segment. Major ongoing projects in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the water technology subsidiary WTE Group are also contributing to the improved assessment.

For Strabag, the upward revision is a signal to the capital markets that the group is likely to exceed the targets it has set itself. Shareholders are thus being given a concrete sense of the direction ahead of the already scheduled half-year results.

Drivers in Germany and Beyond

The final half-year figures and the full report will be released at a later date. Until then, communication is based on the CEO's expectations as set out in the report.

By raising its output and margin guidance, Strabag positions itself in competition with other European construction groups as a reliable partner for public and private infrastructure projects. The group is thereby demonstrating that economies of scale and project management continue to work in a difficult market environment.

Outlook and Risks

At the same time, it remains to be seen how material costs, interest rates, and demand develop over the coming quarters. The new forecast is based on the assumption that there will be no major disruptions to the underlying conditions.
