CSG Expands Missile & Drone Capabilities While Unveiling New Trident Air Defence System 16-6-2026

CSG announced two major developments during Eurosatory 2026, highlighting its growing presence across missile propulsion, drone technologies and integrated air defence systems. Key highlights: ▪️ CSG subsidiary AviaNera Technologies signed a strategic partnership agreement with Ukrainian Armor to supply propulsion systems for Ukrainian guided missiles and unmanned platforms. ▪️ The agreement includes plans for future joint production, expanded manufacturing capacity and localization of propulsion technologies within Ukraine. ▪️ AviaNera stated that propulsion systems are increasingly becoming a critical bottleneck in missile and UAV production, making capacity expansion a strategic priority. ▪️ The partnership builds on CSG’s existing cooperation with Ukrainian Armor, including previous ammunition production projects. ▪️ At Eurosatory 2026, CSG also unveiled its new Trident multi-layer air defence system designed to counter aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, drones and other aerial threats. ▪️ Trident combines short-, medium- and long-range air defence capabilities and can be configured to meet specific customer requirements. ▪️ The system integrates technologies from multiple CSG companies, including Retia radars and command systems, Tatra vehicle platforms and Tatra Defence launcher solutions. ▪️ Turkish defence company Roketsan supplies the missile systems used within the Trident platform. ▪️ In its standard configuration, Trident can engage targets at distances of up to 100 kilometers using both infrared-guided and active radar-guided missiles. ▪️ The system can also be expanded with counter-drone technologies, electronic warfare capabilities and specialized C-UAS interceptors. ▪️ CSG recently secured nearly $2.5 billion in Southeast Asian air defence contracts, demonstrating growing international demand for its integrated defence solutions. These announcements further strengthen CSG’s position across ammunition, missile propulsion, unmanned systems and next-generation air defence technologies as defence spending continues to rise👌🏽☕️

Use English Language Please

I do not want to disrespect the Czech people nor their language. But guys, please understand that many of us are not in position it interpret it let alone speak it. Let's respect ourselves and use a common spoken language that is English. And for people claiming that it is Czech so we should speak Czech...The forum is in English and I don't think that you would find it fair if you would have invested in Rheinmetall and since it is a German company everyone would have spoken German or Ferrari Italian.

Praha v Holandsku?

Všimli ste si, že podľa info na T212 je Praha v Holandsku (= Prague, Netherlands)? 😄 Asi zmiesali Sídlo a miesto Burzy, na ktorej je kótovaná.

Tak jsem se poučila neinvestovat do IPO

Jak se všichni máme? Je tady někdo v komunitě na discord kde bychom si mohli pokecat o své depresi. Já jsem tady na dlouhodobou ale sedět na -20% unrealizovany - to docela bolí

I'm bullish on this

The more it goes down the better for me, average out the price and buy more, for me this is at the minimum a 2 year investment hold. Very bullish outlook

Free for discussions

30€ around January meaning Iran-US conflict heavily pushed it down the same as Rheinmetall. Correct me if i‘m wrong but the company has strong fundamentals and seems to deliver. Is this really the deal of the century or just something packaged nicely while concealing the truth?

Acquisition of DOMAR MS

CSG has completed the acquisition of DOMAR MS, one of Poland’s leading manufacturers of cabling, cable harnesses, and distribution boxes, as well as a distributor of electrical connectors used in defense systems and other specialized products. The company's products are used in military vehicles, radar systems, communications and electronic systems, and in the aerospace industry. “It brings key expertise in the field of cable harnesses and electrical connectors, which are essential components of all modern systems. The acquisition will also help us optimize production costs and accelerate the development of new systems,” said Chour.

CSG Q1 2026 Deep Dive — Strong Growth, Record Backlog and Major Global Expansion

As I already shared earlier this week on May 20, CSG released its Q1 2026 Trading Statement. For new people joining the, here’s a much deeper overview based directly on the company’s published documents. Overall, CSG delivered another very strong quarter and continues scaling aggressively across ammunition, land systems, air defence and advanced military technologies. Key Financial Highlights (Q1 2026): ▪️ Revenue reached €1.544 billion, up 13.8% YoY ▪️ Operating EBIT increased to €372 million (+8.7%) ▪️ EBIT margin remained extremely strong at 24.1% ▪️ Net profit almost doubled to €299 million (+94.6%) ▪️ Record order backlog increased to €17 billion ▪️ Additional pipeline under negotiation stands at €27 billion ▪️ Total future opportunity now estimated at €44 billion ▪️ Net debt dropped significantly from €3.0bn to €2.2bn ▪️ Net leverage improved to only 1.3x EBITDA CSG also reaffirmed full FY2026 guidance: ▪️ Expected revenue: €7.4bn–€7.6bn ▪️ EBIT margin target: 24–25% One of the biggest developments this quarter was production expansion. CSG confirmed its own large-calibre ammunition production capacity already exceeded 800,000 rounds annually by the end of Q1, compared to around 550,000 last year. Management now expects: ▪️ ~850,000 own-produced artillery/tank rounds by end of 2026 ▪️ Additional 400,000 recommissioned rounds during 2026 ▪️ Long-range ammunition to become over 50% of artillery revenue This is important because long-range 155mm shells have: ▪️ Higher margins ▪️ Fewer European competitors ▪️ Increasing NATO demand CSG also keeps strengthening vertical integration. New developments include: ▪️ New MACS propellant facility in Slovakia with EURENCO ▪️ 49% acquisition of Hirtenberger Defence Systems in Austria ▪️ 25-year Greek ammunition JV already producing 155mm shells ▪️ New industrial partnerships across Poland, Hungary, Turkey and Azerbaijan The company is increasingly controlling more of its own supply chain instead of relying on outside suppliers. Major Contract Wins: ▪️ $2.5 billion air defence systems contract in Southeast Asia ▪️ $300M+ Patriot armoured vehicle contract ▪️ Multiple new NATO artillery ammunition contracts worth ~€550 million announced after quarter end ▪️ Expanded FBI ammunition supply relationship in the US ▪️ $635 million US Army Future Artillery Complex project in Iowa One very important detail:Ukraine exposure continues decreasing as CSG diversifies globally. Revenue mix: ▪️ Europe ex-Ukraine: 49% ▪️ Ukraine-related: 21% ▪️ United States: 16% ▪️ Other markets: 15% This matters because many critics claimed CSG depended too heavily on Ukraine demand alone, while the numbers now show broader global expansion. CSG is also investing heavily into future warfare technologies: ▪️ Counter-drone ammunition for NATO rifles ▪️ UAV propulsion systems and turbojet engines ▪️ Missile engine cooperation with PGZ ▪️ Advanced systems integration ▪️ New anti-drone solutions already successfully live tested with armed forces Another major point:Land Systems revenue surged 82.8% YoY, showing that CSG is becoming much more than just an ammunition producer. The company is rapidly evolving into a broader vertically integrated defence conglomerate with exposure to: ▪️ Armoured vehicles ▪️ Air defence ▪️ Ammunition ▪️ Military electronics ▪️ Drones/UAV technologies ▪️ Advanced propulsion systems ▪️ Industrial defence manufacturing Management also directly addressed demand trends:They stated NATO stockpile replenishment, rising European defence budgets and the EU’s €90 billion Ukraine support facility continue driving strong long-term demand across Europe. Important risks still remain of course: ▪️ High working capital needs ▪️ Large capex ramp-up later in 2026 ▪️ Execution risk while scaling production ▪️ Geopolitical dependency ▪️ Regulatory/export risks But based purely on the published Q1 document, CSG still appears to be executing very aggressively on growth, production expansion and international diversification. For now this remains one of the most closely watched European defence growth stories in the market. Always do you own research. This is not financial advice. Ps: thank for al you support🙏🏽🙂‍↔️ Link to the document: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/828d6y24/production/c5843f159013bff0b73475fcb15a3386cbab5bd6.pdf

CSG Delivers Strong Q1 Growth and Record €17B Backlog 20-5-2026

Czechoslovak Group (CSG) reported strong Q1 2026 results with revenue growing to €1.54 billion, up nearly 14% year-over-year. Operating profit also increased to €372 million, while the company maintained very strong margins above 24%. One of the biggest highlights is the record order backlog, which now stands at €17 billion, with another €27 billion currently in negotiations. The Defence Systems division remained the main growth engine thanks to strong demand for armored vehicles and large-caliber ammunition. CSG also announced several major strategic developments: • a new $300M armored vehicle contract in Southeast Asia • expansion into Hungary through defense partnerships • deeper cooperation in Poland on drones, rocket motors, and military systems • launch of new anti-drone ammunition • expansion of ammunition deliveries to the FBI in the US The company also improved its financial position, lowering leverage while continuing to scale production capacity. Management reconfirmed full-year 2026 guidance of €7.4B–€7.6B revenue, showing continued confidence in long-term growth and demand across the defense sector.

Before earnings

I feel like this jump up is just because tomorrow is earnings day and after that it will go down, even if CSG reports good earnings - we know how market move after report days lately.. But fingers crossed and hope for the best.🤞

Are we cooked

Is there any hope left on this stock 😭😭😭😭
