Thales reported its second-quarter and first-half 2025 financial results, showing mixed performance against estimates but overall positive momentum. Q2 sales reached €5.31 billion, slightly below the estimated €5.41 billion, with organic sales growth of 6.4% compared to an expected 8.1%. Order intake for Q2 rose 15% year-over-year to €6.57 billion. For the first half, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were €1.25 billion, surpassing the estimate of €1.23 billion, with an EBIT margin of 12.2%, also above the anticipated 11.8%. Thales raised its full-year revenue guidance, driven by strong defense orders and continued growth in aerospace and avionics sectors. The company now targets at least 6% organic sales growth for the full year 2025. This performance is supported by increased military spending amid Europe's rearmament efforts and France's plan to double its defense budget by 2027.
