Company News
Continental AG, a German semiconductor specialist, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on 27 July, becoming China's largest listed firm by market capitalisation. The debut set records for price appreciation and turnover, with the stock added to the MSCI China All-Share Index. The company's recent quarterly reports show strong DRAM growth, driven by demand in high-performance computing and data-centre applications. Continental's R&D spend reached €150 million last year, representing 10% of revenue. Continental's chairman announced a share-repurchase plan running from December to July next year, aimed at share cancellation and capital reduction. The company plans no further capital reduction for 12 months, followed by a scheduled increase targeting €10 billion cumulative value. The listing provides Continental access to local financing and potential regulatory advantages in China's semiconductor market.
Continental's plastics technology subsidiary Contitech will cut 3,000 jobs globally, including 1,600 in Germany, following an agreement with the IGBCE union on framework conditions. The company said some affected activities will be relocated abroad, whilst operational redundancies will be avoided until at least the end of 2030. The cuts form part of Continental's cost-saving programme announced in November, targeting €150 million in annual savings from 2028. The agreement includes voluntary programmes, early retirement arrangements and job placement support for affected workers. IGBCE executive board member Francesco Grioli said whilst job cuts cannot be prevented, the agreement mitigates impact on employees and secures investment commitments for German sites. Contitech pledged to make all measures as socially responsible as possible.
Continental AG reported full-year 2025 sales of €19.7 billion with 0.8% organic growth, alongside adjusted EBIT of €2 billion and a 10.3% margin. The company proposed a dividend of €2.70 per share, representing a 4.8% yield. The tyre segment showed resilience with 2.4% organic growth and €3.6 billion in Q4 sales, achieving a 13.9% adjusted EBIT margin. However, ContiTech faced headwinds with a 5.2% organic decline in Q4 due to challenging automotive and industrial markets. Continental reduced net debt, improving its leverage ratio to approximately 2.0. For 2026, the company projects sales of €17.3 billion to €18.9 billion with an adjusted EBIT margin of 11% to 12.5%, whilst navigating anticipated declines in light vehicle production and challenging market conditions in the Americas.
German automotive parts maker Continental reported a net loss of €165 million for fiscal 2025, compared with a profit of €1.168 billion the previous year. Sales declined to €19.676 billion from €20.077 billion. The company's earnings were impacted by €1.2 billion in non-cash special effects from the Aumovio spin-off and planned OESL sale. Adjusted operating result fell to €2.035 billion from €2.212 billion, whilst the adjusted EBIT margin decreased to 10.3% from 11%. Despite the loss, Continental will increase its dividend to €2.70 per share, up €0.20 from last year. For fiscal 2026, the company anticipates consolidated sales of €17.3 billion to €18.9 billion with an adjusted EBIT margin of 11% to 12.5%, citing continued market volatility.
Continental has acquired Slovakian mold specialist EMT Púchov s.r.o, taking over all shares from majority shareholder Dynamic Design (Romania) in early April. The acquisition enhances Continental's internal technology portfolio, allowing it to independently produce tire molds for various applications. All 107 employees with specialized knowledge were retained. Grant Thornton's cross-border team from Germany and Slovakia conducted financial and tax due diligence. Continental reported a 2023 revenue of €41.4 billion.
