Thales Sees Strong Demand for Defense, Avionics, and Space Activities

Thales reported a record 2025 sales of €22.136 billion, driven by sustained demand in defense, avionics, and space activities. The company’s adjusted EBIT rose to €2.740 billion, raising its adjusted EBIT margin to 12.4%. Order intake reached €25.264 billion, and the year-end order book climbed to €53.323 billion. Thales’ results coincide with broader European defense industry growth, where heightened geopolitical instability and increased military spending have buoyed demand for advanced sensors, avionics, and integrated electronic systems.
