2025 business result: Bucher with strong cash flow and a solid financial position in a challenging economic policy environment

In the course of 2025, some of Bucher Industries’ markets stabilised as expected, and a recov­ery was par­tic­u­lar­ly noticeable in Europe. Despite the uncertainties surrounding trade tariffs, order intake was higher than the prior year. However, sales still fell due to the low order book at the beginning of the reporting period. The operating profit margin benefitted from the expected sale of a property not required for operations. The Group’s profit for the year and the earnings per share were slightly above the prior-year levels. Thanks to a strong cash flow, Bucher Industries’ finan­cial position remains extremely solid. This ensures flexibility and estab­lishes a solid base for future growth. The board of directors pro­pos­es a dividend of CHF 11.00 per share. The ongoing share buyback pro­gramme is well advanced and expected to be completed soon. The board of directors also announces a change of the chairman of the board.
