German industrial group Thyssenkrupp posted a significantly wider net loss of €278 million in its fiscal third quarter (April–June 2025), compared to a €54 million loss a year earlier. The company’s sales fell 9 percent to €8.15 billion, reflecting weak demand in its steel division and difficult market conditions across Europe. While adjusted EBIT improved slightly by 4 percent to €155 million, one-time charges and taxes weighed heavily on the bottom line.
In response, Thyssenkrupp downgraded its full-year guidance, now forecasting a 5–7 percent drop in sales compared to the previous projection of up to a 3 percent increase. It also narrowed its adjusted EBIT outlook to the lower end of the €600 million–€1 billion range, signaling continued caution. The market reaction was swift, with the company’s shares falling as much as 12 percent after the announcement. Management noted that restructuring efforts are ongoing, but warned that steel demand is likely to remain subdued through the remainder of 2025.
