FRANKFURT, Feb 11 (Reuters) - German submarine maker TKMS TKMS.DE hit a new high in its order backlog and raised its sales outlook, it said on Wednesday, with a boost from rising demand for warships at a time of rising geopolitical tensions.
Sales are now expected to rise by 2% to 5%, from a previous range of minus 1% to up 2%, compared with an average forecast of 2.9% in an LSEG poll of banks and brokerages.
