Fero Group has been active since 2005 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €9.35M and a net result of €-909k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 15% of 4860 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.8% (low).
