Stadler Rail Surpasses Expectations with Record-High Revenue and Operating Profit

Stadler Rail has reported significant growth in its revenue and operating profit for the first half of 2026, exceeding analysts' expectations on nearly every front. The Zug-based manufacturer attributed this success to the delivery of numerous vehicles in the first half of the year and high production output in the previous year.

The strong Swiss franc had a negative impact, reducing revenue by 30 million Swiss francs. Despite this, revenue rose by 40 percent to 2.0 billion Swiss francs in the first six months.

Operating profit (EBIT) climbed to 79.5 million Swiss francs, more than doubling compared to the previous year's 36.9 million Swiss francs. The operating margin improved to 4.0 percent from 2.6 percent a year ago.
