Langley Holdings Reports €55.3 Million Profit Before Tax in H1 2026, Pivots to Power Infrastructure Driven by AI Demand

Diverse industrial group Langley Holdings published its Interim Trading Statement for the first half of 2026, reporting a profit before tax (PBT) of €55.3 million. This figure is after a non-recurring loss of €19.8 million from discontinuing its loss-making printing machinery business. The company forecasts a full-year PBT of €237.8 million, driven by record order intake for power infrastructure equipment due to unprecedented demand from AI data centers in the USA. The order backlog sharply increased to approximately €2.4 billion in the first half from around €1.0 billion a year ago, with expectations to reach €4.0 billion by year-end. Production at Bergen Engines is set to quadruple by 2028, supported by a €100 million capital expenditure commitment for its Power Solutions companies.
