Kalmar Oyj reports strong fourth‑quarter performance and secures major order for hybrid straddle carriers
Finland‑based Kalmar Oyj, a listed industrial company on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki, announced that its fourth‑quarter 2025 results surpassed market expectations. Net sales increased 10.7 % year‑on‑year to €487 million, up from €440 million in the prior quarter. The company’s operating profit rose to €60.1 million, compared with €38.9 million reported in the same period last year. Forward‑looking data showed a 511 million‑euro uptick in order intake.
Kalmar’s success is partly attributed to a large order from Maher Terminals for 30 hybrid straddle carriers, or grensletruckar, to be delivered to a New Jersey container terminal. The order, booked in Q4 2025, is slated for delivery in Q4 2026 and supports Maher’s commitment to safe, sustainable operations.
On the governance side, the board announced a decision to pay up to 48,779 shares under long‑term incentive plans. A call for shareholders to attend the annual general meeting was issued for 31 March 2026.
Kalmar’s market‑capitalization stands at €2.77 billion, with a 52‑week range of €24.34 to €44.72. The company’s share price closed at €41.58 on 11 February 2026. The results reinforce Kalmar’s position as a leading supplier of material‑handling equipment to ports, terminals, distribution centres and heavy‑logistics sectors worldwide.
