MUNICH – Shareholders of CANCOM SE approved all resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board at the company’s Annual General Meeting on June 17, 2026, by a large majority, reaffirming confidence in the company’s strategic direction.
The AGM resolved to pay a dividend of €1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, maintaining CANCOM's consistent and stable dividend policy. Additionally, the authorization to acquire and use treasury shares was renewed, providing flexibility for future capital returns to shareholders.
In his speech, Chief Financial Officer Thomas Stark reviewed a challenging 2025 financial year, marked by a subdued market environment that stabilized as the year progressed. He emphasized two key growth drivers: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital sovereignty. “Companies and public sector clients continue to invest in high-performance, secure and sovereign IT infrastructures, whilst at the same time the industrial use of AI opens up significant potential for efficiency and innovation,” Stark said.
Stark added, “Increased productivity through high-performance IT infrastructures is a key element in our customers’ competitiveness. Our priority remains clear: profitable growth, greater operational efficiency through the use of AI, and sustainable value creation for our shareholders.”
For the current fiscal year 2026, the Executive Board confirmed its forecast, expecting consolidated revenue between €1,750 million and €1,850 million, EBITDA of €110 million to €130 million, and EBITA of €55 million to €75 million. The company plans to continue its strategic development, focusing on stable capital allocation and operational efficiency measures.
CANCOM SE, a leading digital business provider and AI enabler, supports companies and public sector organizations in their digital transformation. With approximately 5,300 employees across the DACH region, Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, and the Czech Republic, the company generated around €1.7 billion in revenue in 2025. The group is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the TecDAX and SDAX indices.
The approval of the AGM proposals underscores shareholder support for CANCOM's strategy amid a challenging market. The renewed share buyback authorization and stable dividend signal the company's commitment to returning value to investors while investing in growth areas like AI and digital sovereignty. As businesses increasingly prioritize secure and efficient IT infrastructures, CANCOM's focus on these trends positions it for potential long-term growth.
