In the previous year, the investment result and net profit for the year were forecast to be at the previous year’s level. The investment result was slightly exceeded, whereas net profit for the year fell.
The future performance of Bechtle AG is closely linked to the operating performance of the group. Due to its ties with the group companies and their importance for the group, the expectations here are largely reflected in the forecast report of the group. In view of the continuing high level of uncertainty and the resulting limited ability to forecast the earnings position of the group companies, we expect Bechtle AG’s investment result for the 2026 fiscal year and, as a result, its net profit for the year, to be at the level of the reporting period.
