Amadeus FiRe (ETR:AAD) has lowered its full-year 2026 guidance following a softer-than-expected second quarter in its Personnel Services segment. The German staffing firm cited deteriorating sentiment among corporate clients and a sharp drop in permanent placement activity as key headwinds. CEO Robert von Wülfing acknowledged that conditions worsened notably in Q2 after a more optimistic start to the year. The results signal continued softness in the German labor market, with implications for staffing demand across the region.
