Bechtle AG Achieves Double-Digit Growth and Raises 2026 Forecast

Bechtle AG reported significant growth in Q3 2026, with business volume rising by 19% to €2.4 billion, and EBT increasing by 13.9% to €91.7 million. The order backlog reached a record €3.6 billion. The company’s performance led to a raised forecast for 2026, expecting over 10% EBT growth.

Germany was the best-performing market, with a 20.8% increase in business volume. Despite challenging conditions, client demand remained high, bolstered by seasonal government sector activities. Bechtle’s business model, combining local presence and European reach, continued to show resilience.

The company also saw headcount rise due to acquisitions, with a slight organic decline. Operating cash flow improved but remained negative due to high project volumes. Bechtle aims for a positive cash flow by year's end.
