Aurubis AG (DE0006766504) ended at €172.80 on August 19, 2026, with a €7.54 billion market value and a 52-week range of €94.20 to €225.20. The shares closed below the peak but still sat 40.26% higher for the year, a level that keeps valuation and earnings delivery in the same frame.
Analyst view stays cautious
MarketScreener's consensus page for Aurubis showed a HOLD rating from 8 analysts, an average target price of €169.50, and a high target of €211.00 on August 20, 2026. That leaves the stock slightly above the average target, while the high target still implies room if sentiment improves.
The same consensus table listed a 5-day change of +3.40% and a year-to-date gain of 40.26% alongside the last close of €172.80. For investors, that combination matters more than a single session move because it shows the shares already carry a large part of the recovery.
Latest reported quarter
In the latest reported quarter ending June 30, 2026, Aurubis generated €6.45 billion in revenue, up 39.7% year over year, while EBITDA reached €271 million, up 63.3%. Net income was €153.3 million, up 95.9% from a year earlier, which gives the share-price backdrop a clear operating basis.
Those figures also show a more mixed quality picture underneath the top line. Gross profit was €270 million, down 37.5% year over year, so the margin mix remains a key point for the next update cycle.
Balance sheet and context
As of the latest quarter, total debt stood at €739 million, cash at €53 million, and free cash flow at -€308 million. The contrast between rising revenue and negative free cash flow is the cleanest way to read the current setup.
The stock's €172.80 close also sits close to the consensus target of €169.50, which makes the current debate more about execution than about a fresh rerating story. A move above the consensus gap would need stronger proof in the next set of numbers.
Copper products at the core
Aurubis' business still centers on copper products, recycling inputs, and metal-bearing materials, with by-products such as sulfuric acid and selenium adding to the mix. That portfolio makes the company sensitive to metal spreads, plant utilization, and the recycling margin cycle.
Shares and valuation
Aurubis stock was last quoted at €172.80 on August 19, 2026, giving it a market cap of €7.54 billion and a trading range that stretches from €94.20 to €225.20 over the past 52 weeks. The shares remain well above their year-end level of €124.20, but the latest consensus suggests the easy part of the rebound may already be behind it.
