Revenue was higher than the EUR 4.55 billion reported for the second quarter of 2025, while net profit was lower than EUR 90.00 million in the year-earlier period. The contrasting figures leave the upcoming report with two clear tests: demand growth and profit conversion.

Price stands above the Xetra close

The current euro quotation was supported by a bid of EUR 8.78 and an ask of EUR 8.79 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 3:07 p.m. CEST. The comparison base is the Xetra close of October 13, 2026 at EUR 8.73, which places the live quote 0.64 percent higher on an unrounded-value calculation.

October 21 brings the next test

The same source lists an average analyst target of EUR 10.58 and a consensus rating of Outperform, providing a broader reference point than the Barclays target.
