1&1 stock (ISIN DE0005545503) was last at EUR 24.05 on Xetra on October 2, 2026, after a 0.21 percent daily gain. Berenberg retained its Buy rating and EUR 30.00 price target in a September 30, 2026 study reported by wallstreetONLINE.

EUR 30 target stays in view

The target is 24.74 percent above the Xetra price, calculated from EUR 30.00 and EUR 24.05. Berenberg analyst Nick Lyall identified 1&1 among his preferred European telecommunications stocks and described artificial-intelligence concerns across the sector as overstated, according to wallstreetONLINE.

The recommendation is an analyst view rather than company guidance. For investors, the distance between the market price and the target makes the next operating update more important than the small 0.21 percent session move.

Q2 revenue rose 13.75 percent

1&1 generated EUR 1.12 billion in revenue in Q2 2026, compared with EUR 987.92 million in Q2 2025, a year-over-year increase of 13.75 percent, finanzen.net reported. EPS was EUR 0.07 in Q2 2026, compared with EUR 0.15 in the year-earlier quarter.

The combination points to a clear operating split: revenue expanded, while quarterly earnings per share were lower than the prior-year comparison. The company had also reported adjusted EBITDA of EUR 177.473 million for Q2 2026 in the financial statements.
