Fielmann Reports Stronger Q3 Growth and Maintains Reduced 2026 Forecast

Fielmann Group reported a 5.1% increase in consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2026, reaching €649 million, marking an acceleration from the 1.8% growth seen in the first half. The improvement was driven by stronger performance in Germany (+4.2%) and international markets (+5.9%), with the company citing its price positioning as beneficial amidst high consumer price sensitivity. Automated refraction technology has been deployed at 227 locations to enhance productivity. Despite this quarterly uptick, management maintains its reduced full-year guidance of €2.50–€2.55 billion in revenue, originally lowered in August due to weak German consumer sentiment. The group expanded its network by 19 new locations in Q3, bringing the total to 1,318 stores worldwide.
