Description: JST JOST Werke October 22, 2025
JOST Werke SE (XETRA:JST) designs and manufactures safety-critical components for commercial vehicles, serving a global customer base across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. Its product portfolio spans truck and trailer hardware (e.g., fifth-wheel couplings, sliders, king-pins), intermodal container equipment (e.g., twist-locks, airbag lifting devices), and specialized solutions for agriculture and forestry (e.g., drawbars, hitch accessories). The firm markets these items under the JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC, and Quicke brands and has been operating since 2008 from its headquarters in Neu-Isenburg, Germany.
Key quantitative signals (as of FY 2024) include a reported €1.2 bn revenue, a modest 4.5 % EBIT margin, and a customer concentration where the top three OEMs account for roughly 30 % of sales-an exposure that amplifies both upside from new truck orders and downside from OEM cycle slow-downs. The commercial-vehicle sector is currently driven by the transition to electric trucks, which may shift demand toward lighter, modular components, and by macro-economic freight volumes that are sensitive to GDP growth rates (global freight tonnage grew ~2.1 % YoY in Q2 2024). Supply-chain constraints on high-strength steel and precision-machined parts remain a material risk, potentially impacting JOST’s lead times and cost base.
For a deeper quantitative view of JOST’s valuation metrics and scenario analysis, the ValueRay platform offers a useful starting point.
