SMA Solar's CEO and CFO said H1 2026 results exceeded internal expectations, with updated guidance for the full year. Analysts asked about transformation progress and new products.
SMA Solar Technology posted first-half 2026 results Wednesday that management described as strong. Kaveh Rouhi, the company's chief financial officer, opened the earnings call by saying the team was “very happy with the results of H1.” He did not disclose specific figures during the prepared remarks, but said the full financial review was in the presentation materials.
Jürgen Reinert, the chief executive, joined the call to update analysts on the company’s transformation program. He also covered new product launches, regulatory developments, and how SMA is strengthening its large-scale solar solutions business. The presentation portion lasted about 30 minutes before the question-and-answer session.
Analysts from Jefferies, Metzler Equities, TD Cowen, and JMS Invest participated in the Q&A. The call, scheduled for up to 60 minutes, was recorded and will be available on the investor relations website.
The updated guidance for the full 2026 financial year was the centerpiece of the event. Rouhi said the company would provide the new numbers during the presentation. SMA had previously signaled a recovery in the second half of the year. The upbeat tone from management suggested the operational metrics came in ahead of internal forecasts.
SMA Solar’s stock, traded over the counter under the ticker SMTGY, has been under pressure as the solar inverter market faced demand shifts and inventory adjustments across Europe and the United States. The call gave investors the first detailed look at SMA’s 2026 performance following a period of restructuring.
Reinert said the transformation program is progressing. He did not provide a timeline for completion, but said the company would share more details in the coming months. The regulatory environment for grid-scale solar in key markets was also discussed, though no specific policy changes were announced.
The call ended with Rouhi and Reinert taking analyst questions. The company did not disclose any material changes to its capital structure or dividend policy.
