Profits Soar at Airbus as It Delivers More Planes
Higher commercial aircraft deliveries lifted first-half revenue 12% and helped Airbus beat analyst estimates on adjusted operating profit.
- On Wednesday, Airbus reported second-quarter adjusted operating profit rose 54% to €2.43 billion, topping analyst expectations as commercial aircraft deliveries rebounded sharply.
- This turnaround follows a difficult first quarter when adjusted operating profit fell 52% to €300 million, weighed down by supply constraints from engine maker Pratt & Whitney.
- The defence and space segment posted an 84% increase in adjusted EBIT to €487 million, while Airbus delivered 351 commercial aircraft in the first half of the year.
- Chief Executive Guillaume Faury said, "Our focus on steady execution is paying off," as Airbus logged 886 gross commercial aircraft orders in the first half.
- Airbus maintained its full-year 2026 guidance, targeting around 870 commercial aircraft deliveries and adjusted EBIT of around €7.5 billion, assuming no further supply chain disruptions.
