AMETEK Inc. (ISIN US0311001004) was trading at EUR 218.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:01 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the prior close of EUR 218.65. According to Yahoo Finance on September 11, 2026, BNP Paribas maintained an Outperform rating and raised its AMETEK target from USD 280.00 to USD 290.00. The target revision gives the current analyst view a clear reference point, even as the euro quote remained flat during the session.
BNP Paribas lifts target
The USD 10.00 increase followed a broader period of positive analyst coverage. MarketBeat reported on September 26, 2026 that AMETEK carried a consensus Moderate Buy rating and an average price target of USD 266.69, based on one Strong Buy, eleven Buy and five Hold ratings.
That consensus target is USD 23.31 below the BNP Paribas target, a difference of 8.04 percent calculated against USD 290.00. The spread shows that the revised BNP Paribas view is more optimistic than the broader analyst average.
Quarterly growth supports guidance
MarketBeat said AMETEK reported USD 2.04 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 15.00 percent from the same quarter of 2025 and above the USD 1.95 billion estimate. The company set third-quarter 2026 earnings-per-share guidance at USD 2.08 to USD 2.10 and full-year 2026 guidance at USD 8.20 to USD 8.30.
The operating picture is therefore defined by two separate numbers: revenue growth of 15.00 percent in the second quarter and a full-year earnings range of USD 8.20 to USD 8.30. For investors, the next valuation question is whether that growth can support the upper end of the annual outlook.
Stock remains below its yearly high
AMETEK had a USD 56.5 billion market capitalization on October 1, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 179.24 to USD 261.16, placing the latest primary-market reference near the upper end of the annual range while the euro quote itself remained unchanged.
