Fresenius Medical Care's revenue falls in Q1 as weak dollar takes toll

Fresenius Medical Care said first-quarter 2026 revenue fell 6%, with the decline driven by significant currency effects, mainly a weak U.S. dollar, and recent divestitures. The update points to modest top-line pressure rather than a broader operational shock, but it is directionally negative for near-term fundamentals.
