How much cash does GEA really make?
Cash from operations was €731.8 million in 2025. After capital spending, lease payments and interest, the stricter free-cash-flow measure was €383.8 million; deducting stock compensation gives €374.7 million. GEA’s own free-cash-flow measure was €511.8 million because it uses a different scope and includes items such as asset-disposal proceeds.
What does an investor pay for GEA?
Our report makes no buy or sell call.
P/E, or price to earnings, says how many euros investors pay for one euro of annual profit. The trailing measure uses the last twelve months; the forward measure uses expected earnings over the next twelve months. The gap between them implies roughly 36% earnings-per-share growth, but that is an expectation from forecasts, not a promise from GEA.
Cash flow provides a more grounded test. Free-cash-flow yield compares cash generation with the share value; dividend yield compares the dividend with that value. GEA generated €511.8 million of free cash flow in 2025, helped by lower working capital, while working capital absorbed cash in the first nine months of 2026.
