CEOTRONICS AG (ISIN DE0005407407, Basic Board, CEK GY) has confirmed the preliminary KPIs (including revenue of €34.2 million: +61.6%) in its 2025/26 half-year report; H1 EBITDA (€6.77 million; +193.6%) and H1 EBIT (€5.81 million; +287.1%) showed strong scaling. The efficiency of production is also reflected in sales per employee, which rose by 51.1%. With regard to the order backlog (€39.6 million; -43.9%), the figure as of 30 November 2025 does not show the full picture, as the third SmG lot was not awarded until two weeks after the balance sheet date. The order backlog as of 16 January 2026 (€75.8 million; +13.3%) provides an indication of the financial volume of the order (50k SmG units). CEOTRONICS' structural growth remains intact, and sales are becoming more international – with a P/E ratio of around 24 (2025/26e), CEOTRONICS remains favourably priced compared to other defence sector stocks.
The equal weighting of our updated DCF and peer group analyses results in a fair value of €19.10.
