FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - Investors were highly critical of the outlook on Monday following the release of Stabilus' final financial results. The shares of the gas spring specialist fell sharply at the start of trading on Monday and continued their decline somewhat in the afternoon. Most recently, the shares lost up to nine percent to 18.78 euros. They thus slipped toward the record low of 17.48 euros set in April.

For the current fiscal year ending in September 2026, management expects sales to remain stable at best. According to analyst Marc-Rene Tonn of Warburg Research, the outlook is characterized by market uncertainties. Expert Akshat Kacker from JPMorgan wrote that the revenue range should be viewed negatively because it is broad with a low lower end. Both experts agreed that the final figures confirmed the previously published key data. Stabilus intends to cap the dividend for the past fiscal year from €1.35 to 35 cents per share./tih/jha/
