Gesco posts 4.8% revenue growth in H1 2026

German industrial services provider Gesco AG said on Monday its revenue rose 4.8% in the first half of 2026, reflecting steady demand in its core industrial maintenance and repair segments.

The company, which specializes in technical services for industrial equipment, reported consolidated sales of €1.12 billion for the six-month period, up from €1.07 billion in the same period of 2025. Operating profit remained flat at €85 million, while net profit edged up 1.2% to €52 million.

Gesco attributed the revenue growth to improved order intake in its German and Central European markets, where industrial activity has shown signs of stabilization after a period of volatility. The company noted that demand for maintenance services remained resilient despite broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

The group maintained its full-year guidance, reaffirming its outlook for revenue growth of between 3% and 5% in 2026, with operating margins expected to hold steady at around 7.5%. Gesco’s management highlighted ongoing cost discipline and efficiency measures as key supports for profitability.

Gesco’s shares, listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker GSC1, were down 0.4% in early trading on Monday, underperforming the broader DAX index, which was flat on the day.
