Schaeffler released preliminary results for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2026, with humanoid robot business orders improving to about €400 million and two new Chinese customers won in Greater China. Group revenue for the first nine months was €17.5 billion (€17.7 billion in the prior-year period), and the EBIT margin before special items rose to 4.5%; the E-Mobility division recorded a one-off special charge of about €240 million due to reduced volumes from European automakers' projects in China, of which about €220 million occurred in the third quarter.
