Neckarsulm, 12 August 2026 – Bechtle AG reported a very strong second quarter in 2026, with consistently double-digit growth once again demonstrating the resilience of its business model. The European IT service provider’s business volume rose by 18.1% to €2.3 billion, driven by growth across all regional segments and customer groups. Revenue increased by 16.5% to €1.7 billion, while earnings before tax (EBT) grew by 20.1% to €80.2 million. The EBT margin based on business volume remained stable at 3.5%. The order backlog increased further from the first quarter, reaching a new record high of €3.5 billion at the end of the reporting period.
