Ascom's Growth Continues

Order Backlog Surges to CHF 344.6 Million

Ascom's overall order backlog grew 11.3% at actual currency and 11.8% at constant currency year-over-year, reaching CHF 344.6 million by mid-2026, according to The Observer. That compares to CHF 309.6 million at the same point in 2025. A larger backlog means more confirmed future work — a strong sign of demand for Ascom's products.

Incoming orders also rose during the period, pushing profitability metrics higher across the board. The company reported improvements in EBITDA, EBIT, and Group profit levels, Brantford Expositor noted. These gains suggest Ascom is converting more sales leads into real contracts.

Revenue Grows 2.6% Despite Currency Headwinds

Net revenue rose 2.6% in the first half of 2026, though results were flat when measured in actual currencies, Mitchell Advocate reported. Currency fluctuations can make overseas earnings look smaller when converted back to Swiss francs. The constant-currency view strips out that effect and shows real business growth.

Ascom serves healthcare providers and enterprises that need reliable, real-time communication tools. Its products are used in hospitals and large facilities where missed messages can have serious consequences. The company's focus on this niche market appears to be driving steady demand, Fairview Post reported.

Full-Year Guidance Confirmed as Momentum Builds

Despite a mixed currency environment, Ascom held firm on its 2026 outlook. The company targets low to mid-single-digit revenue growth at constant currencies and an EBITDA margin of 10–12%, The Sudbury Star reported. EBITDA margin measures how much profit a company keeps from each dollar of revenue before accounting for taxes and other costs.

The results paint a picture of a company gaining momentum. Rising order intake, a growing backlog, and confirmed guidance all point to continued stability heading into the second half of 2026, County Market noted. Investors will watch closely to see if Ascom can sustain this trajectory through year-end.
