In 2025, Bosch Rexroth maintained sales at €6.45 billion, stabilizing at lower levels compared to peak years 2023 (€7.5 billion) and 2022 (€7 billion). Under new CEO Dr. Jochen Peter (appointed March 2026), the company emphasizes innovation, customer proximity, and cost control while restructuring operations in China and strengthening activities in Japan. FY2026 has started well with order intake exceeding prior-year figures, providing cautious optimism despite geopolitical challenges.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Strong order intake recovery in early 2026 and stabilizing sales demonstrate operational resilience despite market volatility. Substantial R&D investment (~€560 million annually in machinery, equipment, and facilities) supports future competitiveness, though exposure to industrial cycles and geopolitical headwinds limits upside potential.
