Stabilus SE has announced the sale of its subsidiaries Fabreeka and Tech Products to VMC Group for approximately $92 million, a move aimed at refocusing on its core motion control and automation sectors. The transaction is slated to close in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and is expected to bolster Stabilus’s balance sheet through debt reduction, despite the sold subsidiaries generating about $32 million in revenue and $8.9 million in adjusted EBIT for fiscal year 2025.
This divestiture aligns with Stabilus’s strategic shift to enhance its operational focus and growth potential in higher-margin areas. Importantly, the company maintains its fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance of €1.1 billion to €1.3 billion, with an adjusted EBIT margin projected between 10% and 12%.
Market professionals should note the positive market reaction, with Stabilus shares rising 4.32% to €18.36, indicating investor confidence in the company’s strategic direction and financial health post-divestiture.
