ACTIVITY AT THE END OF MARCH 2026: – 0.8%
Activity declined by 0.8% as of end-March, penalized by foreign-exchange effects (+1.3% in France and -1.9% outside France). At constant scope and exchange rates, growth was +0.1% (+0.3% in France and 0% outside France).
In line with the last quarter of 2025, activity is gradually stabilizing, mainly driven by accelerating growth in the Aerospace and Defense & Security sectors.
The Automotive sector continues to decline (at a slower pace than last year), as do the Telecom and Life Sciences sectors.
Activity is stable or growing in France, the UK, Southern Europe and APAC, and slightly declining in Germany, the Benelux, Eastern Europe and North America. The slowdown remains more pronounced in the Nordics.
EXTERNAL GROWTH: 1 ACQUISITION
A company specializing in IT Services (revenue: €68m; 470 consultants).
OUTLOOK FOR 2026:
The macroeconomic environment remains fragile and the geopolitical context highly uncertain. Several sectors have not yet returned to growth, and activity remains broadly sluggish.
In the current context, ALTEN expects organic growth between 0% and -0.5% for the first half of 2026, as well as for the full year. Under this assumption, the operating profitability from activity in 2026 is nevertheless expected to be higher than that achieved in 2025.
Developments in the Middle East, could obviously have significant consequences on our clients’ investment decisions and therefore on performance—consequences that cannot be anticipated at this stage.
