Rheinmetall AG
Rheinmetall AG is a German industrial company best known for making defense equipment for armies and security forces. Its defense business sells armored vehicles, military trucks, weapons systems, ammunition, air defense gear, sensors, and related support services. It also makes automotive parts and systems such as engine components, thermal management, and other parts used by car makers and engine manufacturers. Its main customers are governments, armed forces, defense ministries, and large vehicle manufacturers. Rheinmetall earns money by designing and manufacturing products, winning long-term supply contracts, and providing maintenance, upgrades, and spare parts. In defense, much of the business comes from public procurement, where customers buy equipment through formal tender and contract processes. What makes Rheinmetall different is that it sits in two very different industrial markets. The defense side is tied to national security spending and tends to involve long development cycles, strict regulation, and follow-on service work. The automotive side is more of a parts supplier business, where the company sells technical components that are built into other companies’ vehicles and engines.

Q1 ahead on profit: Rheinmetall said sales rose 8%, but operating result grew 17% to EUR 224 million and the operating margin improved to 11.6%. Management said some sales slipped into Q2 because trucks and ammunition were not yet deliverable.
Q2 set-up: The company expects a much stronger Q2, with more than 50% growth versus last year, as about EUR 300 million of delayed deliveries move into the quarter.
Backlog stays strong: Backlog increased to EUR 73 billion, with more than EUR 44 billion now fixed contracts. Management said it expects around EUR 20 billion of nominations in Q2 and EUR 135 billion of backlog by year-end.
Defense momentum: Management described strong demand across Germany, Europe, Ukraine, the Middle East and the U.S., with particular strength in air defense, ammunition, vehicles and drones.
Guidance unchanged: Rheinmetall kept full-year 2026 guidance at EUR 10 billion to EUR 10.5 billion of sales, around 19% operating margin, and more than 40% cash conversion.
CapEx and cash: Operating free cash flow was negative EUR 285 million because of inventory build and heavy investment. CapEx is expected to stay high this year and next, with the biggest burden coming from joint ventures.
Strategic moves: The company highlighted progress in naval systems, autonomy, missile cooperation, and a possible shipyard deal in Romania, while saying the Power Systems disposal should be signed in Q2.
