Thales Reports Strong Growth in Order Intake and Sales for 2026

Thales announced robust financial results for the period ending September 30, 2026, reporting an order intake of €19.1 billion, a 14% increase, and sales reaching €16.4 billion, an increase of 7.6%. The company confirmed its 2026 financial targets, with anticipated organic sales growth expected at the upper end of the guided range.

The Defence segment led the performance with order intake up by 14% to €11.3 billion, driven by significant orders such as contracts for military and satellite systems. The Aerospace segment also saw a notable increase, climbing 29% in order intake, reflecting strong momentum in space activities. Meanwhile, the Cyber & Digital segment remained stable.

Geographically, mature markets experienced strong growth, with European orders rising significantly. Emerging markets also saw a rise, particularly in the Near and Middle East, due to high defence demand.
