SMEs expect stable profits in addition to falling sales

Compared to the previous year, domestic companies are planning a modest increase of 7.5 percent in sales revenue, while a stable 4.5 percent profit growth is planned for the next year, according to the latest data of the K&H SME Trust Index survey.

Compared to the previous quarters, slightly lower sales growth, but unchanged profit growth is expected in the next year. The recent results from the K&H SME Trust Index show that companies are currently planning a 7.5 percent revenue and 4.5 percent profit growth in the year ahead. In this way, a slow downward trend in revenue dynamics can be observed. At the same time, profit expectations are stable for the third quarter at around 4–4.5 percent. So, the scissors are getting closer to the expected level of revenue and profit.
