MUNICH – CANCOM SE announced that at its Annual General Meeting held today, shareholders approved all resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board by a large majority, confirming the company's strategic direction. Among the approved measures is a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share for the 2025 financial year, continuing the company's consistent and stable dividend policy. Additionally, the authorization to acquire and use treasury shares was renewed, allowing CANCOM to flexibly return capital to shareholders in the future.
During the meeting, CFO Thomas Stark reflected on the challenging 2025 financial year, characterized by a subdued market environment that stabilized noticeably as the year progressed. Stark highlighted two key growth drivers: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital sovereignty. He noted that companies and public sector clients continue to invest in high-performance, secure, and sovereign IT infrastructures, while the industrial use of AI presents significant potential for efficiency and innovation.
“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,” Stark said. For the current financial year 2026, the Executive Board confirmed its forecast, expecting consolidated revenue between EUR 1,750 million and EUR 1,850 million, EBITDA of EUR 110 million to EUR 130 million, and EBITA of EUR 55 million to EUR 75 million.
CANCOM, a leading digital business provider and AI enabler, supports organizations and the public sector in their digital transformation. The company’s portfolio includes solutions in Artificial Intelligence, Security & Connectivity, Data Centre & Cloud, IoT Solutions, and the Modern Workplace. With approximately 5,300 employees across the DACH region, Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, and the Czech Republic, CANCOM generated annual turnover of around EUR 1.7 billion in 2025. The parent company, CANCOM SE, is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the TecDAX and SDAX indices (ISIN DE0005419105).
The implications of this announcement are significant for the IT industry and investors. CANCOM's focus on AI and digital sovereignty aligns with growing demand for secure, sovereign IT infrastructures, particularly in Europe where data protection and autonomy are critical. For business leaders, the company's emphasis on AI-driven efficiency suggests that investments in high-performance IT are essential for competitiveness. The stable dividend and renewed share buyback authority signal confidence in the company's financial health and commitment to shareholder value, even amid a challenging market environment.
