Ongoing Strategic Refocus and Upcoming Financial Events
The group continues its strategy of refocusing initiated at the end of April with the divestment of its Interiors business to Apollo fund, valued at €1.82 billion. The operation aims to reduce debt and focus the portfolio on higher value-added activities. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue fell by 2.2% to €5.135 billion at constant exchange rates, but the equipment supplier outperformed the global automotive production by 120 basis points, which declined by 3.4%. Year-on-year, the stock still shows a gain of 27.05%, despite the significant correction last quarter. The next key date on the financial calendar is the general assembly on June 4, 2026, followed by the first half results on July 31.
