Legrand’s Strong First-Half 2025 Results and Upgraded Outlook
Legrand, a global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructures, recently announced its strong financial results for the first half of 2025. The report highlights double-digit revenue growth and increased profitability. Because of these strong Legrand 2025 first half results, the company has raised its full-year outlook. This reflects strong momentum across its business segments, especially in data centers and North America.
Strong Revenue Growth and Profitability
Consolidated sales for Legrand’s first half of 2025 was €4.77 billion, which marks a 13.4% increase year-over-year. In fact, at constant exchange rates, this was a 15.0% increase. For instance, organic growth reached 9.0%, and growth accelerated to 10.1% in the second quarter. Furthermore, acquisitions supported growth by approximately 5%, while foreign exchange had a slight negative impact of –1.4%.
Legrand’s adjusted operating margin improved to 21.0%. This reflects operational efficiency and a favorable product mix. Moreover, net profit attributable to the Group was 13.2% of revenue.
Regional Performance Highlights
At a constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates, North & Central America led growth with a 20.5% increase, driven by strong demand in commercial and data center segments. In contrast, Europe posted modest growth of 1.0%, which was impacted by ongoing macroeconomic pressures. Meanwhile, the Rest of the World delivered solid growth of 3.3%, with particular momentum in Asia-Pacific.
Strategic Focus on Data Centers and Innovation
Legrand continues to capitalize on the expanding datacenter market. Datacenters accounted for 24% of the company’s sales in the first half of 2025. The company strengthened its portfolio in data center power and infrastructure, with noteworthy acquisitions including Amperio Project in Switzerland and Quitérios in Portugal.
The company also advanced its innovation strategy, thanks to a steady rollout of new product lines. This enhances its position in high-potential segments, which include connected solutions, energy-efficient systems, and digital infrastructure.
Full-Year 2025 Guidance Raised
Based on the strong Legrand 2025 first half results and improved visibility, the company raised its full-year targets.
- Total growth excluding currency effects is upgraded to +10% to +12%. This is an increase from the previous +6% to +10%.
- Organic growth is now expected to range between +5% and +7%.
- The acquisition contribution is estimated at +5%.

EdisonReport Editor’s Note:
Legrand’s 20.5% constant-currency growth in North & Central America stands in contrast to the soft ABI data we’ve been tracking — a reminder that data center and commercial electrical infrastructure demand is running on a different cycle than the specification-driven new construction market. With data centers now representing 24% of Legrand’s sales, the company’s results are increasingly a proxy for hyperscale infrastructure spending rather than traditional building activity. For the broader electrical channel, Legrand’s raised full-year guidance is a constructive signal.
