The positive outlook communicated during the announcement of the 2025 annual results has been confirmed. The Burkhalter Group continues to benefit from strong demand for energy-efficient building technology solutions and ongoing high renovation and refurbishment activity. Accordingly, the first half of 2026 developed favorably. As of June 30, 2026, earnings per share increased to CHF 2.44 (previous year CHF 2.26). The consolidated result was CHF 25.9 million (previous year CHF 24.0 million), the operating result (EBIT) was CHF 31.1 million (previous year CHF 29.5 million). Revenue reached CHF 587.3 million compared to CHF 586.8 million in the previous period.
Growth through targeted business acquisitions
By June 30, 2026, the Burkhalter Group had grown through the acquisition of five more companies. On January 15, 2026, BZ-Dépannage Sàrl in Lonay (VD), specialized in plumbing facilities and maintenance and repair services, was acquired. On January 28, 2026, the acquisition of Enplan AG in Herisau (AR), specializing in the planning of heating and ventilation systems, followed, and a day later, that of Elektro Gasser AG in Lalden (VS). On February 26, 2026, the Burkhalter Group also acquired the HLKS company Caotec SA in Brusio (GR). Effective May 1, 2026, Progressio Holding GmbH in Tamins (GR) was added, including its subsidiary anplaq ag, which specializes in plant, equipment, and pipeline construction for energy and water infrastructure.
On September 2, 2026, AZ systems holding AG in Landquart (GR), with its subsidiary AZ systems AG which specializes in building automation, was also taken over. These targeted acquisitions strengthen the Burkhalter Group's regional presence, expand its technical expertise, and unlock additional market potentials. The acquisition strategy thus remains a key pillar of the group's sustainable growth.
Outlook confirmed
The Burkhalter Group has given a positive outlook for the 2026 financial year. Developments in the first half confirm the underlying assumptions regarding market demand and operational development. The management therefore maintains its assessment and continues to expect a moderate increase in earnings per share in the 2026 financial year compared to 2025.
Thanks to the employees
The Board of Directors and management would like to thank all employees for their great commitment and dedication.
