Jena (18.02.2026) – It is an important date in the calendar of the Jena economy: The board of the software company Intershop (ISIN DE000A254211) is presenting the preliminary results for the past fiscal year 2025 this Wednesday. For the long-standing e-commerce service provider, which is closely linked to the recent economic history of Jena, it is about determining its position after a challenging year.
The difficult year 2025: Review and facts
Previous signals from the corporate headquarters indicated a complex market environment. Already in the first three quarters of the past year, Intershop had to struggle with headwinds. The main reason for this was a noticeable investment reluctance among customers. In times of global economic uncertainty, many companies tend to postpone large IT projects and the renewal of e-commerce platforms.
This reluctance was directly reflected in the books: At the bottom line, there was a loss after taxes of around 1.7 million euros after nine months in 2025. The figures presented today will show whether the traditionally often stronger fourth quarter was able to mitigate this trend or whether the dry spell continued until the end of the year.
Intershop: A benchmark for the tech location Jena
Intershop is not just any company in the Saalestadt. As one of the pioneers of online trade in Germany, the company has significantly shaped the development of Jena into a high-tech location. Even though the times of the “Neuer Markt” are long gone, the development of the listed AG remains an important indicator for the local software industry.
The business model now focuses heavily on rental software (cloud solutions), with which companies can handle their entire internet trade. This market is highly competitive, with global competition. The volatility of the stock in recent years reflects this constant pressure to adapt.
Looking ahead: What is CEO Markus Dränert planning?
Particular attention is focused today on the statements of CEO Markus Dränert. Investors and analysts expect not only the review but above all an outlook for the current year 2026. The central questions are:
- Has the order situation stabilized?
- Are there signs that customers are loosening their investment brakes?
- What strategic steps is the board planning to lead Intershop back into the profit zone?
For the business location Jena, it is to be hoped that the e-commerce specialist can provide positive impulses. The final figures and the detailed annual report usually follow a few weeks after this preliminary announcement.
Conclusion
Today’s figures are more than just a statistical work – they are a sentiment barometer for one of the city’s best-known employers. We will continue to monitor the development and report as soon as details on the stock market’s reaction are available.
