$20M Convertible Notes Closed

Dilution Risk from Variable Conversion Price
The conversion price is variable and could be as low as $1.93, significantly below the current $4.50 stock price. If the stock declines, conversion could be highly dilutive to existing shareholders.

Revenue and Margin Guidance Reaffirmed
Management maintained full-year 2026 revenue guidance of more than €100 million and EBITDA margin of more than 12%, despite a weaker H1 margin due to revenue phasing.
Analysis · SHMD · Technology
SCHMID Group closed a $20 million convertible notes financing with an institutional investor, securing critical working capital to support accelerating order intake.

Simultaneously, the company raised its full-year order intake guidance to €125–€150 million, signaling strong demand, but the financing terms suggest a need for cash to fund growth, which may pressure the stock.
