GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:G1A) reported what Chairman of the Executive Board Stefan Klebert called a “record year” for fiscal 2025 during the company’s virtual annual general meeting, highlighting stronger profitability, rising orders, and continued progress under its long-term “Mission 30” strategy. Supervisory Board Chairman Dieter Kempf opened the meeting by noting that GEA had been admitted to Germany’s DAX index in 2025, which he described as a reflection of sustained financial strength and profitability.

Virtual AGM format and shareholder participation

Kempf said the company again chose a virtual AGM format after “positive experience of recent years,” citing advantages such as eliminating travel costs while safeguarding shareholder rights and supporting climate protection. The meeting included simultaneous English translation, though speeches were permitted only in German.

GEA reported strong representation at the meeting. Kempf said 114,355,318 shares were represented via proxy, equating to 70.24% of share capital, with additional postal ballots received for 392,815 shares. After voting, attendance was updated to 70.49% of registered share capital, including postal ballots.

In response to a shareholder question about participation, Klebert said 185 shareholders joined via the investor portal during the meeting. He added that in the pre-COVID in-person AGMs, GEA saw “a manageable amount” of shareholders attending, citing 275 shareholders present in 2019 and a comparable number in 2017 and 2018.

Klebert connected GEA’s DAX inclusion to what he described as years of transformation after a crisis period starting in 2019. He said GEA shifted toward a more entrepreneurial structure with five accountable divisions, divested seven companies totaling about EUR 300 million in revenue that no longer fit strategic focus, and reinforced what he called a “performance culture” centered on meeting budget targets.

For fiscal 2025, Klebert reported:

Organic order intake up 9.1% to EUR 5.9 billion, with nearly 18% organic growth in the fourth quarter Revenue of EUR 5.5 billion, up 3.7% organically and at the upper end of guidance EBITDA before restructuring expenses of EUR 907 million, with a 16.5% margin ROCE of 36.2%

Klebert said a key driver was GEA’s service business, which he said now accounts for 40% of revenue and supports stability during volatile periods.

Story Continues

Looking ahead, Klebert said GEA expects in 2026:

Accelerated organic revenue growth of 5% to 7% EBITDA margin before restructuring expenses of 16.6% to 17.2% ROCE between 34% and 38%

He said this would move the company closer to the 17% to 19% EBITDA margin corridor defined in Mission 30.

Dividend proposal and capital allocation priorities

Klebert said GEA is proposing a dividend of EUR 1.30 per share, up EUR 0.15 year over year, describing it as a 13% increase and the fifth consecutive annual increase. He said the proposal implies a total payout of EUR 212 million, corresponding to about 50% of net profit.

In the Q&A, CFO Alexander Kocherscheidt addressed questions on free cash flow and capital allocation. He said strong liquidity provides room to strengthen the balance sheet and fund profitable organic growth. He added that GEA intends to stick to its dividend policy and remains interested in “strategically meaningful acquisitions.” If acquisition opportunities are not available, Kocherscheidt said the company would consider share buybacks as a capital allocation option in the future.

Strategy updates: organization, digitalization, and sustainability

Both Kempf and Klebert discussed changes to the company’s leadership structure. Kempf said GEA dissolved its Global Executive Committee and expanded the Executive Board as of January 2026 so divisions are represented at board level, bringing the board to seven members at the time of the meeting. He also noted Chief Operating Officer Johannes Giloth would leave at the end of April 2026.

Klebert said GEA also reduced divisions from five to four—Pure Flow Processing, Nutrition & Plant Engineering, Pharma and Food Applications, and Farm Technologies—and replaced the former 14-member Global Executive Committee with a newly formed Executive Board that will comprise six members going forward. He said early experience with the new structure has been positive and included “measurable cost effects,” totaling EUR 15 million in 2026.

Klebert also outlined a push in digitalization, saying revenue from digital solutions was about EUR 80 million in 2025, with a target of more than EUR 200 million by 2030. He said more than 11,000 machines are connected to the GEA Cloud today, with a goal of exceeding 35,000 by 2030. He cited examples including the AI-enabled “CattleEye” system and an internal tool called “Diagram Genius” to digitize engineering drawings.

On sustainability, Klebert said 45.7% of GEA’s revenue already comes from sustainable solutions, with a target of more than 60% by 2030. He said Scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were 62% below 2019 levels by the end of 2025, beating an interim 2026 target of 60%. He also reported a 38% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2019. Klebert referenced external recognitions including EcoVadis platinum status, a Time magazine sustainability ranking, and inclusion on CDP’s climate “A list.”

Shareholder questions: orders, Farm Technologies, geopolitics, and governance

During the discussion, DSW Managing Director Marc Tüngler and SdK representative Christopher Selbach questioned management on order quality, segment outlook, geopolitics, working capital, M&A, and governance topics. Klebert said large-scale orders represented about 10% of 2025 order intake, with the remainder reflecting a broad baseload business, and said the company did not see elevated risk. He described Farm Technologies prospects as “very positive,” citing 23% order intake growth in 2025 and potential in automatic milking and feeding systems.

On geopolitics, Klebert said only 3% of GEA’s business is in the Middle East, with no production sites or main suppliers there, and described the impact as “negligible.” He said GEA is not very energy intensive and expects to pass along supply cost increases, adding that higher energy prices can increase demand for GEA’s efficiency solutions.

On working capital, Kocherscheidt said net working capital was 3.2% at year-end 2025 but averaged 6.6% across the year. He reiterated a Mission 30 corridor of 7% to 9% and said he was comfortable with that range, while noting values may rise depending on project dynamics.

Selbach asked about goodwill impairment risk following organizational changes. Kocherscheidt said goodwill was reallocated as of Jan. 1, 2026, and subjected to impairment testing, with “clear obvious differences” between recoverable amounts and carrying amounts as of Dec. 31, 2025, and said there was currently no indication of a change in that assessment.

Kempf also addressed questions about his re-election for only one year, saying the term was intended to support the initial phase of the new organization, adding that his personal planning played a role and that he would be 74 at the next AGM.

All agenda items approved, including capital measures

The AGM approved all voting items on the agenda, including the dividend proposal, approval of the remuneration report, ratification of acts of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, and reappointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor and sustainability report auditor for fiscal 2026 (subject to CSRD-related legal requirements for the sustainability assurance appointment). Shareholders also approved the remuneration system for the Executive Board, Kempf’s re-election to the Supervisory Board, an amendment to the articles of association related to electronic shares (with Kempf noting no immediate plan to transition), and new authorized and contingent capital measures, which management said were intended to provide flexibility rather than reflecting specific near-term plans.

Kempf closed the meeting by thanking shareholders, employees, and service providers involved in organizing the virtual AGM.

If you are wondering whether GEA Group at €62.25 is priced attractively or already baking in a lot of optimism, it helps to look at the numbers a bit more closely. The stock has returned 0.2% over the last week, 1.1% over the past month and 8.4% year to date, with 24.0% over 1 year, 54.5% over 3 years and 96.8% over 5 years. These figures will naturally shape how the market thinks about risk and reward today. Recent coverage has focused on how GEA Group fits into investor themes such as industrial efficiency and automation, as well as its role in global capital goods indices. This context helps explain why sentiment around the shares can shift as expectations for the sector change. Right now, GEA Group scores 3 out of 6 on our valuation checks. The next step is to compare what different valuation methods imply for the current price and then look at an even richer way to judge value at the end of this article.

Find out why GEA Group's 24.0% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.

Approach 1: GEA Group Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a business could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them back to today’s value.

For GEA Group, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month Free Cash Flow stands at €488.7 million. Analysts and model estimates project Free Cash Flow of €470.3 million in 2026 and €916.0 million by 2030. Beyond the explicit analyst horizon, Simply Wall St extrapolates additional cash flows up to 2035 using its own growth assumptions.

Adding up all these discounted cash flows results in an estimated intrinsic value of €127.01 per share based on the DCF model. Compared with the current share price of €62.25, this indicates the shares trade at a 51.0% discount to that intrinsic estimate. This highlights a wide gap between the model value and the market price.

Result: UNDERVALUED

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests GEA Group is undervalued by 51.0%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 231 more high quality undervalued stocks.G1A Discounted Cash Flow as at Apr 2026

Head to the Valuation section of our Company Report for more details on how we arrive at this Fair Value for GEA Group.

Approach 2: GEA Group Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is a useful way to think about what you are paying for each unit of current earnings. It ties the share price directly to the business’s ability to generate profit, which is usually more relevant to you as a shareholder than revenue or assets alone.

Story Continues

What counts as a “normal” P/E depends on how the market views the company’s growth potential and risk. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can support a higher P/E, while lower growth expectations or higher risk usually justify a lower one.

GEA Group currently trades on a P/E of 24.7x. That sits below the peer average of 29.1x and above the Machinery industry average of 19.9x. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary “Fair Ratio” for GEA Group of 20.0x. This Fair Ratio reflects factors such as earnings growth profile, profit margins, industry, market capitalization and company specific risks, which gives a more tailored view than broad peer or industry comparisons alone.

Comparing the current P/E of 24.7x with the Fair Ratio of 20.0x suggests the shares trade on a richer multiple than this model implies.

Result: OVERVALUEDXTRA:G1A P/E Ratio as at Apr 2026

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your GEA Group Narrative

Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. On Simply Wall St's Community page you can use Narratives, where you set out your story for GEA Group, link that story to specific forecasts for revenue, earnings and margins, and see a fair value that you can compare with today’s price. This could be a more cautious view anchored around a €54.0 fair value, a middle ground near €65.1, or a more optimistic stance closer to €73.0. This fair value will automatically refresh as new news or earnings are added, so your buy or sell decisions always sit on top of your latest assumptions.

For GEA Group, we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading GEA Group Narratives:

🐂 GEA Group Bull Case

Fair value in this bullish analyst narrative: €65.10 per share.

At a last close of €62.25, that is roughly 4.4% below the fair value used in this scenario.

Revenue growth assumption: about 4.9% per year.

Focuses on expanding higher margin services and digital solutions, combined with GEA's sustainability positioning, as key supports for earnings quality. Builds in analyst expectations for profit margins rising from 7.5% to 9.7% and earnings reaching €615.9m by 2029, with a P/E of 20.2x applied to those earnings. Views the current price as close to the consensus fair value of €65.10, with analyst targets ranging from €54.00 to €78.00, so the company is treated as broadly fairly priced under these assumptions.

🐻 GEA Group Bear Case

Fair value in this more cautious analyst narrative: €54.00 per share.

At a last close of €62.25, that is roughly 15.3% above the fair value used in this scenario.

Revenue growth assumption: about 4.6% per year.

Flags risks from faster digitalization, climate regulation and limited diversification, which could weigh on revenue growth, pricing power and margins over time. Assumes earnings reach €560.6m by 2029 with profit margins at 8.9% and uses a lower P/E of 18.4x, which pulls the fair value down to €54.00. Sees the current share price as rich compared with this €54.00 fair value, even though the underlying business is still expected to improve in this scenario.

Together these two Narratives bracket a range of fair values between €54.00 and €65.10, so your own view on GEA Group will largely depend on which set of assumptions you find more realistic for growth, margins and the P/E multiple the market is willing to pay.

GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft logo

Key Points

GEA reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 guidance, targeting organic sales growth of 5%–7%, an EBITA margin (before restructuring) of 16.6%–17.2%, and a return on capital employed of 34%–38%. The company moved to a new four-division reporting structure (Pure Flow Processing, Nutrition Plant Engineering, Pharma & Food Applications, Farm Technologies) and published an Excel file with eight quarters of pro forma figures to help analysts model the change. For Q1 2026 GEA expects order intake to be roughly in line with Q1 2025 (slightly above EUR 1.4 billion), warned of a translational FX headwind of around -3.3%, and said Q1 organic sales growth will be below the full-year range with acceleration later in the year. Interested in GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft? Here are five stocks we like better.

GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:G1A) used its Q1 2026 pre-close call to reiterate full-year guidance, discuss demand trends across key end markets, and outline expectations for first-quarter order intake, sales growth, and profitability as it transitions to a new divisional reporting structure.

New reporting structure and modeling support

Oliver Luckenbach, Head of Investor Relations, said the company has operated under a new organizational structure since Jan. 1, 2026, and will report Q1 2026 results under four divisions: Pure Flow Processing, Nutrition Plant Engineering, Pharma & Food Applications, and Farm Technologies. To support analysts, Luckenbach said GEA published an Excel file in early March with eight quarters of pro forma figures for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.

Guidance reaffirmed for fiscal 2026

→ 3 Utility Stocks With Strong Dividends and Room to Run Higher

Luckenbach said GEA has confirmed the group guidance issued alongside full-year 2025 results in March. The company continues to expect:

Organic sales growth of 5% to 7% EBITA margin before restructuring expenses of 16.6% to 17.2% Return on capital employed of 34% to 38%

Customer industry trends: food, dairy, pharma, and New Food

On end-market conditions, Luckenbach said performance on the food side “is performing good,” while beverages “look softer compared to the past.” In dairy processing, he said the pipeline continues to show activity “across both projects and components,” describing it as an ongoing favorable market development.

→ 3 Energy Stocks to Buy as AI Power Demand Surges—and 2 to Avoid

In dairy farming, Luckenbach said the “general market sentiment is positive across almost all regions with the exception of China.” During the Q&A, management pushed back on the idea that milk prices or the milk-feed ratio are reliable predictors of GEA’s dairy farming demand. In response to a question from UBS’s Sven Weier, Luckenbach said internal analysis did not show a consistent relationship between those metrics and GEA’s order intake or sales, noting, “There are many other impacting factors.”

Story Continues

On pharma, Luckenbach said GEA is seeing a “promising pipeline.” For “New Food,” he said 2025 saw the first improvement, with order intake “almost doubling,” and management is optimistic the momentum can continue into 2026.

Order intake outlook and foreign exchange headwinds

→ Could Easing Iran Tensions Trigger an Amazon Pre-Earnings Rally?

Luckenbach said 2026 “will be again a good year” for order intake, with a pipeline that includes larger orders, while cautioning that large projects are “lumpy” and timing can be difficult to predict. He highlighted that Q4 2025 was a record quarter with order intake of EUR 1.8 billion, including nine large orders totaling EUR 440 million, but said that level “is not the new normal.”

For Q1 2026, he said order intake is expected to be “more in line” with Q1 2025, when order intake was “slightly above EUR 1.4 billion.” In response to follow-up questions from UBS and Jefferies, Luckenbach clarified that the Q1 2026 comment is a reported expectation (not excluding large orders) and includes currency effects; he suggested organic growth in order intake would be “low- to mid-single-digit” percent.

Management also expects translational foreign exchange to be a headwind in Q1 2026. Luckenbach said the translational FX impact was -3.3% in Q4 2025 and is likely to be of “similar magnitude” in Q1 2026.

Sales growth pacing, margin progress, and financial housekeeping

GEA expects organic sales growth in Q1 2026 to be below the full-year 5% to 7% range, with acceleration through the year as large orders booked in the second half of 2025 convert into revenue. Luckenbach said this should resemble last year’s pattern—starting below the original range and accelerating later—while clarifying to Morgan Stanley’s Max Yates that this does not imply Q1 growth will match Q1 2025’s 0.9%.

On profitability, Luckenbach said the full-year EBITA margin guidance implies continued progress in 2026 and that GEA aims to show improvement in Q1 versus the prior-year quarter. He cited Q1 2025 EBITDA margin before restructuring expenses of 15.8%, but said the size of any Q1 2026 improvement will depend on the final sales composition.

Rebecca Weigl, Deputy Head of Investor Relations, provided additional financial reminders. She reiterated full-year 2026 expectations for:

CapEx of around EUR 240 million Net working capital-to-sales target corridor of 7% to 9%, while noting a typical sequential Q1 uptick versus Q4; Q1 is expected to be higher than Q4 2025’s record low 3.2% Depreciation and amortization of around EUR 250 million Financial result of about minus EUR 30 million Tax rate of 28% to 30% R&D ratio around 3% of sales

Weigl also said 2026 will be the last year in which GEA adjusts EBITDA for restructuring expenses, adding that from January 2027 onward it will no longer do so. As context, she noted restructuring expenses in 2025 were EUR 48 million at the EBITDA level.

On capital allocation, Luckenbach told UBS that M&A remains a topic but GEA is “not prepared to overpay” for targets. If no suitable acquisitions emerge, he said share buybacks could return, noting GEA bought back more than EUR 700 million in 2023 and 2024 and “a little bit in 2025.”

GEA said it will release Q1 2026 results on May 11, following its AGM on April 29.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 18, 2026) - Black Swan Graphene Inc. (TSXV: SWAN) (OTCQX: BSWGF) (FSE: R960) ("Black Swan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its production capacity expansion at its facility located in Consett, United Kingdom. As a result of the expansion, originally outlined on June 3, 2025, the Company's production capacity has more than tripled. The new large-scale production unit, centered on a recently acquired 3160 Ariete System manufactured by GEA Group AG ("GEA"), has completed calibration and commissioning, enabling continuous operation.

This milestone represents Black Swan's fourth and largest scale-up and further solidifies the Company's position as a leader in the industrial-scale manufacturing of high-quality Graphene Nanoplatelets ("GNP"). The installation of this 3160 Ariete System represents the culmination of 12 years of strategic collaboration with GEA, as this advanced industrial homogenizer has been specifically customized for Black Swan's proprietary High-Shear Liquid-Phase Exfoliation Process. The Company now offers a fully integrated, in-house development and production platform.

Key production capabilities include:

Annual manufacturing capacity of more than 140 tonnes of GNP, increased from 40 tonnes prior to the expansion, based on a continuous three-shift operation; and Industrial flow rates of up to 22,000 litres per hour, enabling consistent, large-scale production.

"The completion of this capacity expansion marks a major inflection point for the Company," said Michael Edwards, Chief Operating Officer of Black Swan. "We have transitioned from pilot-scale development to full industrial-scale manufacturing. With this facility fully operational, we are well positioned to meet growing global demand for consistent, scalable 'Made with GEM' solutions that are ready for immediate commercial deployment."

The enhanced capacity was driven by the successful execution of commercial agreements and strategic partnerships, as well as by an expanding sales pipeline. The new system will not only meet this growing potential demand but will also maintain critical spare capacity needed to advance customer-tailored development programs, which are instrumental in driving product adoption and long-term revenue growth for the Company.

From Development to Commercial-Scale Supply Availability

Black Swan now offers a fully integrated, in-house development and production platform. This enables customers to transition seamlessly from laboratory-scale testing and formulation, through R&D and pilot-scale validation, to high-volume commercial procurement.

Story Continues

This expanded capacity directly supports the production of Black Swan's GraphCore™ product line, which serves as the foundation of the Company's Graphene Enhanced Masterbatch™ offerings. These GEM™ products provide transformative performance enhancements for polymers and composite materials.

Black Swan has established a robust global distribution network through strategic relationships with leading industry participants, including masterbatch compounders such as Hubron International, Broadway Colours, and Modern Dispersions, as well as global distributors such as Thomas Swan & Co., Metco Resources (India), Supergrafeno (South America), and Ferro (South Africa).

About Black Swan Graphene Inc.

Black Swan is focused on the large-scale production and commercialization of patented high-performance and low-cost graphene products aimed at several volume-driven industrial sectors. Black Swan's graphene processing technology was developed by Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd ("Thomas Swan") over the last decade. Thomas Swan is a United Kingdom-based global chemicals manufacturer with a century-long track record and a reputation for being at the forefront of advanced materials and graphene innovation. Since 2024, Black Swan has launched seven commercially available Graphene Enhanced MasterbatchTM ("GEM") polymer products which are currently being tested by several international clients.

Positive Points

GEA Group AG (GEAGF) achieved a record order intake in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a 14.4% year-over-year increase, driven by nine large orders. The company reported a significant reduction in direct emissions, achieving a 62% reduction from 2019 levels, surpassing their short-term target a year early. GEA Group AG (GEAGF) saw an 8.4% increase in EBITDA before restructuring expenses, reaching EUR907 million, reflecting higher gross profit and service business expansion. The company's service business continued its dynamic development, contributing to a service sales share increase to 40% in 2025. GEA Group AG (GEAGF) achieved a significant milestone by entering the DAX index, marking its inclusion among the 40 largest and most valuable stock-listed companies in Germany.

Negative Points

The new food sector development was slower than expected, despite some improvement in order intake. Organic sales growth in the new machine business was initially slow, with a decline in the first half of 2025. The Farm Technologies division experienced a decrease in EBITDA due to lower service sales share and product mix effects. The Separation & Flow Technologies division saw a decline in service sales, leading to a decrease in service sales share. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East presents potential indirect risks, such as supply chain disruptions and increased oil prices, although direct impacts are expected to be limited.

Q & A Highlights

Q: Could you give us a feel for order intake trends in the first half of 2026, especially considering the strong contribution from large orders in the fourth quarter of 2025? A: Stefan Klebert, CEO: We expect a good order intake situation in 2026, with several large orders in the pipeline. While it's challenging to predict the exact timing, we are confident that our order intake will support our growth expectation of more than 5% CAGR year-over-year.

Q: Your guidance implies a significant revenue increase. What gives you the confidence to underwrite a high single-digit growth rate for your in-for-out orders amidst market uncertainties? A: Alexander Kocherscheidt, CFO: The invoiceable backlog is up year-on-year, and while there is an ambition level in the in-for-out orders, it is not overly ambitious. We are confident in achieving this, supported by a strong service business.

Q: Can you provide insights into your assumptions for new equipment revenue growth compared to service growth in 2026? A: Alexander Kocherscheidt, CFO: We expect the service growth rate to be slightly higher than the new machine business, consistent with our Mission 30 guidance. The higher end of our growth range is expected to come more from the service part.

Q: What are your prospects for M&A in 2026, and any comments on potential share buybacks? A: Stefan Klebert, CEO: We are interested in meaningful M&A if the price is right. We have a strategy program that works well, so there's no need to take unnecessary risks. If suitable targets are not found, we might consider share buybacks.

Q: What factors will determine whether you achieve the higher end of your EBITDA margin guidance for 2026? A: Alexander Kocherscheidt, CFO: The range is influenced by pricing, COGS reduction, and G&A contributions. Pricing is a significant element, and we are confident in our ability to manage cost inflation through pricing strategies.

Q: How important is high protein as a driver for the activity in your dairy business pipeline? A: Stefan Klebert, CEO: High protein is not a major driver for our larger projects. Our strength in dairy, especially in areas like infant formula, is broad-based, and our optimistic order intake outlook for 2026 is not solely based on dairy.

Q: Could the geopolitical situation in Israel impact the growth of your new food segment? A: Stefan Klebert, CEO: The situation in Israel is not expected to have a significant impact. We have start-ups in other regions like the US and Finland, and operations in Israel are continuing despite the situation.

Q: What is your outlook on net working capital management given the strong pipeline of large orders? A: Alexander Kocherscheidt, CFO: We are comfortable with our current range of 7% to 9% for net working capital. While we see a downward trend, it's too early to discuss a lower ratio. We will continue to monitor developments closely.
