Czech inflation rose further, from 1.9% yoy in March to 2.5% yoy in April. This was in line with market consensus but slightly above our own and the CNB forecast, which had both expected April inflation at 2.4% yoy.

Results Preview: Colt CZ: Strong start to 2026, NCL driving growth

14/05/2026 15:38

We expect Colt CZ to report solid earnings growth in 1Q26. This is primarily due to its recent acquisition of the company NCL. The robust performance of the ammunition sector, particularly in Europe, should offset the ongoing weakness of the commercial firearms market in the US to some extent. We estimate yoy revenue growth of +31.6% to CZK7.3bn in the first quarter. According to our estimates, EBITDA will reach CZK1.7bn (+42.6% yoy). Colt CZ should start the year with a strong set of 1Q26 numbers.
