Source: CECE (Committee for European Construction Equipment), April 2026.

Agriculture: CEMA business climate index declining further

==> picture [313 x 152] intentionally omitted <==

  • CECE business climate index slightly decreased: current business has clearly gained momentum, geopolitical risks weaken the outlook for the next 6 months

  • CEMA business climate index remains volatile, decreases to -6 points; the downward pressure affects the current business

  • Business cycle risks for the fiscal year 2026:

  • Challenging geopolitical and economic environment (US tariffs, war in the Middle East)

  • Guidance for the fiscal year 2026 confirmed:

    • Revenue between € 2,200 m and € 2,400 m

    • EBIT margin between 6.5% and 7.5%

    • Investments between € 70 m and € 90 m[1]

    • Net working capital in percent of revenue below 30%
