Czech defense group CSG cut its 2026 operating EBIT margin forecast to approximately 21% from a previous range of 24-25%. MLQ.ai reported that CSG shares fell 13.1% to 11.68 euros following the reduction in profitability outlook.
The company attributed the margin cut to lower market prices for standard ammunition and a shift in customer demand toward long-range products.
