Only slight drop in sales despite pandemic
Swiss rail vehicle manufacturer Stadler Rail expects a quick return to normality as the negative effects of the pandemic begin to fade away. For 2021 the company forecasts an order intake of around CHF 4 to 5 billion, a turnover between CHF 3.5 and 3.8 billion and an ebit margin of over 6%. Stadler plans to invest CHF 200 million in 2021 to increase capacities.
In the corona year 2020 the company experienced negative effects particularly in H1, with turnover falling by 16% compared to H1/2019. However, Stadler saw its sales rise again by 3.2% in H2. Total turnover for 2020 thus amounted to CHF 3.08 billion, only slightly below the record result of 2019. (ben)
