Bechtle delivers double-digit growth in business volume and EBT, raises 2026 forecast again.

Neckarsulm, 13 November 2026 – Bechtle AG continued its strong and successful performance in the third quarter of 2026. The European IT service provider delivered double-digit growth in both business volume and earnings. Business volume was up 19.0% at €2.4 billion, with all segments and customer groups contributing to the strong performance. Revenue increased by 6.1% to €1.7 billion, while earnings before tax (EBT) rose by 13.9% to €91.7 million. At 3.8%, the EBT margin based on business volume was virtually unchanged year on year. Operating cash flow improved significantly compared with the second quarter, but remained negative at −€29.5 million due to particularly strong business in September. The order backlog increased further compared with the first half of the year, reaching a new record high of €3.6 billion at the end of the quarter. Given this very strong performance, Bechtle AG’s Executive Board has decided to raise its forecast for the 2026 fiscal year once again.
