Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- H1 2026 constant-currency turnover fell only 0.5%, showing underlying resilience.
- Defence grew 28.3% in 2025 and supports diversification away from Airbus engineering.

What critics are saying
- SOGECLAIR is selling Airbus-dedicated engineering to Akkodis, closing targeted for Q4 2026.
- Q1 2026 automotive revenue dropped 12.2%; Rail and Defence suffered delayed public orders.
- Airbus concentration remains dangerous: the divestiture removes engineering scale while dependence persists through thermoplastics.
What makes SOGECLAIR unique
- 2025 revenue rose 2.1%; EBITDA reached €18.7 million, 11.7% margin.
- SOGECLAIR is expanding thermoplastic composites and launched a Toulouse additive manufacturing plant.
