Swiss industrial equipment maker Accelleron Industries AG (SIX: ACLN) raised its full-year organic revenue growth outlook for 2026 to 14-17%, up from a prior range of 9-14%, citing sustained demand from U.S. data centers and marine sectors.
The company reported first-half 2026 revenue of $737 million, a 21.3% increase year-over-year, driven by a 40% surge in its High Speed segment to $209 million. The segment’s growth was primarily attributed to gas-fired power applications for U.S. data centers, which now account for 9% of total revenue, compared with 5% in the prior-year period.
Accelleron’s Medium and Low Speed segment contributed $529 million in revenue, up 15.2% from the prior year. Demand was supported by new merchant marine builds, fuel-efficiency retrofits, expanding fleet service agreements, and strong utilization in merchant marine and cruise sectors.
Operational EBITA reached $190 million in the first half, with a margin of 25.7%, an increase of 20 basis points from the prior year. The company maintained its full-year operational EBITA margin guidance at 25-26%.
Cash flow improved, with operating cash flow rising 12.4% to $119 million and free cash flow up 9.3% to $88 million, compared with the first half of 2025. The company did not revise its operational EBITA margin target for the full year.
Accelleron’s updated guidance reflects confidence in continued demand from both data center infrastructure and marine sectors, though it did not provide specific revenue breakdowns for either segment beyond the first half of 2026.
