2026 Full year Outlook:

Haulotte does not expect any significant pick-up in the fourth quarter, but anticipates revenues growing by around 5%, which would mean €536 million.

Its statement said: “Despite limited visibility and a still uncertain global environment, Haulotte should be able to achieve sales growth of at least 5% in 2026, enabling the group to return to positive current operating margin close to the level reported in the first half of 2026.”

In the first half, the company recorded a pre-tax loss of €1.2 million.

Vertikal Comment

Haulotte does seem to be climbing out of the mire, and looks to be in stronger shape than this time last year. If it can only replicate what it is doing in Europe in North America and the Asia Pacific region, things will look a lot brighter than they have been in the past year or two.

All in all, there is more positive here than negative.
