Jenoptik expects a decline in sales and market uncertainties for 2025
Jenoptik expects cautious sales for 2025 and is planning adjustments in the semiconductor sector due to market risks and uncertainties.
Jenoptik expects a decline in sales and market uncertainties for 2025
In the last few months, the news from Jenoptik has not been the best. The company is more cautious for 2025 as a whole, as a weak first half of the year is dampening the mood. Jenoptik had to accept a decline in sales of almost eight percent to over 498 million euros in the first half of 2023. The South German reports that the high level of uncertainty in the market contributes to this reluctance. In particular, the effects of tariff policy under the aegis of US President Donald Trump have increased pressure on demand.
The company is now targeting revenue at the previous year's level, around 1.12 billion euros, which envisages a maximum decrease or increase of five percent. The board expects to only achieve the lower half of the previous sales forecast. This is a clear warning shot and an indication of the major challenges the company will face in 2025.
Future outlook and market uncertainties
In particular, the general market uncertainty continues, as confirmed by Jenoptik's board of directors. For 2024, the target is sales growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range and an EBITDA margin of around 19.5 to 20 percent. The latest forecasts However, suggest that the 2025 targets could only be achieved in 2026.
