Presented by Romy Acosta, Head of Investor Relations
In this latest financial results presentation on seat11a, Romy Acosta of JOST Werke SE presents the company’s Q1 2026 financial results and provides an update on current developments across the global commercial vehicle market.
Mixed Market Conditions Across Global Transport Markets
JOST operates as a leading supplier of safety-critical systems for trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery, and off-highway applications.

During Q1 2026, market conditions remained mixed across different geographies and customer groups. Demand trends in truck and trailer markets continued to reflect ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, while agricultural and off-highway markets developed differently across regions.
Against this backdrop, JOST continued to focus on operational discipline, efficiency measures, and maintaining profitability through the cycle.

JOST’s portfolio spans multiple commercial vehicle and industrial applications, including truck and trailer systems, agricultural components, and off-highway technologies. This diversification continues to support resilience across varying regional and sector-specific demand environments.
The company also benefits from its broad international footprint across Europe, North America, and Asia, as well as long-standing relationships with OEM customers and aftermarket partners.
