0758 GMT - Fresenius Medical Care's guidance for 2026 is likely to disappoint as it implies the company is facing additional headwinds that will offset extra cost savings, analysts at Jefferies say. The German dialysis specialist forecast broadly flat revenue in 2026, and adjusted operating profit ranging from a mid-single-percentage digit rise to a fall of the same proportion. In light of expected savings of 250 million euros from an efficiency program, this points to intensifying headwinds elsewhere, Jefferies says in a research note. Moreover, Fresenius Medical Care reiterated its 2030 profitability guidance despite raising its 2027 savings target, the analysts say. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
