Rheinmetall expects strong 2025 sales in Europe's 'era of rearmament'
BERLIN (Reuters) -Rheinmetall, a major beneficiary of Europe's renewed push to invest in defence, said on Wednesday it expects significant sales growth in 2025 and promised to update guidance after recent geopolitical developments are taken into account. The German defence company expects sales to grow by 25% to 30% in 2025 as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the decoupling of the United States from Europe, it said. At the same time, Europe's top ammunition maker anticipates an improvement in the operating result and an operating margin of around 15.5%, slightly above the 2024 level of 15.2%.
