SCHMID Group Raises Order Intake Guidance on Strong Q2 Demand
Event summary
- SCHMID reported €30.7 million in order intake and €27.7 million in revenue for Q2 2026, with a cumulative order intake of €81.6 million YTD.
- Order backlog stood at €54.8 million at the end of Q2, excluding services or spare parts.
- Full-year 2026 order intake guidance increased from ~€114 million to €125–150 million due to sustained demand.
- Company closed a $20 million convertible notes deal on July 14, 2026, to fund working capital and expansion in China.
The big picture
SCHMID’s upgraded guidance reflects a broader trend of reshoring and capacity expansion in electronics manufacturing, particularly in China. The company’s ability to secure repeat orders exceeding €37 million signals strong customer stickiness, but the shift from rented to owned facilities will test its operational agility. With full-year revenue expected to exceed €100 million, investors will scrutinize whether EBITDA margins can rebound from H1 pressures.
