Berenberg keeps EUR 40 target

Analyst Andreas Wolf focused on profitability, memory semiconductor prices and Bechtle's business prospects, according to Boerse Express. The EUR 40.00 target stands EUR 5.42 above the Lang & Schwarz price, while the source describes the rating as a confirmation rather than a target increase.

Three dates define the setup

On September 17, 2026, Bechtle set a 2030 business-volume goal above EUR 10 billion and an earnings-before-tax margin goal of 5 percent at its Capital Markets Day, according to Bechtle. On October 1, 2026, the company and MODUS Consult opened a technology hub in Gütersloh with 500 employees across 3,700 square meters, according to Boerse Express. On October 12, 2026, Berenberg kept its Buy rating and EUR 40.00 target, the same source reported.

What will test the margin?

Bechtle's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached EUR 1.73 billion, up 16.50 percent from the prior-year quarter, while net income rose 21.30 percent to EUR 57.80 million, according to Simply Wall St. The comparison matters because management's 2030 plan requires both scale above EUR 10 billion and a 5 percent earnings-before-tax margin, not revenue growth alone.

Next results arrive in November

The next scheduled reporting date is November 13, 2026, when Bechtle is set to publish its third-quarter 2026 report and hold a conference call, according to Boerse Express. That release will show whether the recent growth rate is translating into the margin progress highlighted by Berenberg.

Stock stays below the prior close

Bechtle stock was trading at EUR 34.58 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 10:47 a.m. CEST, 1.65 percent below the Xetra close of October 14, 2026, at EUR 35.16. The 52-week range is EUR 24.56 to EUR 45.14 as of October 15, 2026, leaving the current quote EUR 10.56 below its high.
