DEFENSE
Gabler Group is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) in Frankfurt, targeting early March and aiming to raise approximately €40 million. The German firm, primarily funded by defense contracts, reported €62 million in pro forma net sales for fiscal 2025 and an order backlog of €359 million.
Gabler serves over 250 customers, including 25 navies, and plans to expand its offerings in autonomous underwater vehicles. The IPO is managed by Cantor Fitzgerald and comes amid increased investor interest in the defense sector, which has seen growth driven by military spending in Europe.
