OHB develops, builds and integrates satellite platforms for institutional and commercial customers, including IRIS2 platforms, MTG weather satellites and Galileo hardware.

Positioning

OHB is Europe's listed pure-play space prime (ETR:OHB, family-led, 25 years public) at full demand, with H1-26 operating performance of EUR 628M (double-digit growth), adjusted EBITDA of EUR 60M (+30%), FY26 guidance of ~EUR 1.4B, and a record EUR 3,354M backlog. Its EPS-Sterna microsatellite constellation (EUR 248M) is OHB Sweden's largest-ever order, its MT Aerospace unit is the largest German Ariane supplier, and it sees a ~EUR 20B pipeline, though Q2 order intake was lumpy and Access-to-Space margins are soft on ramp costs. Its subsidiary RFA's first flight was delayed again; its stock rose 321% over the year to a ~$6.1B market cap.
