Rheinmetall cuts 2026 margin guidance following Q3 revenue miss

Key Facts

1Rheinmetall reduced its sales and margin guidance for the fiscal year 2026.

Rheinmetall lowered its 2026 operating margin forecast to 18.5% from 19% alongside its third-quarter financial results. The company reported that Q3 revenue grew 32% to €3.149 billion, though the figure missed analyst consensus estimates.

The revision follows a previous cut to full-year sales guidance to approximately $14.82 billion due to contract and ammunition delays. RNMBY closed at $225.7 on November 3, 2026, while Germany's GDP grew by 1.2% year-on-year according to data from October 30, 2026.

German Factory Orders for September were released on November 5, 2026, serving as a key indicator for future demand in the defense and industrial sectors where Rheinmetall operates.
