** German IT firm Bechtle BC8G.DE down around 11% after falling as much as 14% following weaker-than-expected FY forecast

** Shares on track for worst day since March 2020

** Co expects both revenue and EBT to rise between 0 and 5% in 2026, lower than a LSEG-compiled analysts' average increase of 6% for revenue and 11% for EBT

** "Wording on revenue and EBT growth is a bit more conservative than expected... We therefore see scope for downward revisions in EBT estimates in the range of 6–7%," Metzler Equities analyst Oliver Frey told Reuters
