Bureau Veritas revenue rises 10.1% in third quarter

Bureau Veritas reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 1.57 billion, up 10.1% from a year earlier, and confirmed its full-year outlook.

The inspection, business assurance and testing company said organic revenue grew 6.2% in the quarter. It reported a positive scope effect of 1.8%, including acquisitions partly offset by disposals, and a positive currency impact of 2.1%.

The company said growth was broad across most divisions and regions. Buildings & Infrastructure revenue rose 13.7% year on year, while Industrials & Commodities rose 8.7%, Product Testing & Services rose 9.2% and Business Assurance rose 4.4%.

Bureau Veritas said it still expects mid-to-high single-digit organic revenue growth for full-year 2026, adjusted operating margin improvement at constant exchange rates and strong cash flow generation.

The company also said it had upgraded its total revenue growth target at constant currency to a double-digit compound annual growth rate for 2027 and 2028, and set an ambition to generate EUR 1 billion in revenue from AI-driven markets and services by 2030.
