BUSINESS AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2026: + 2.9%
As of end-September, revenue growth stood at 2.9%: 6.0% in France and 1.3% outside France. At constant scope and exchange rates, organic growth was 2.3% (3.7% in France and 1.5% outside France).
In the third quarter, ALTEN generated revenue of €1,055.2 million, up 6.4% compared with the third quarter of 2025. At constant scope and exchange rates, organic growth was 3.6% (4.3% in France and 3.2% outside France).
The Aerospace, Defence & Security / Naval and Rail sectors recorded strong growth; Energy and Services also posted satisfactory growth. The decline in the Automotive, Telecoms and Electronics sectors slowed.
In the third quarter of 2026, organic growth accelerated, mainly driven by North America and Asia.
2026 OUTLOOKS
Despite an uncertain geopolitical and economic environment, activity continued to grow in the third quarter, leading ALTEN to expect organic growth of approximately 2% in 2026 (despite an unfavourable comparison base in the fourth quarter of 2025, when activity had grown strongly).
The operating margin on activity should therefore continue to improve and reach approximately 9.3% in 2026.
