Continental (ISIN DE0005439004) stock traded at 71.13 EUR on September 4, 2026, while its year-to-date gain stood at 0.46 percent and the five-day move at 1.88 percent, according to Marketscreener. The same market snapshot put the fair value update from DZ Bank at 86 euros, up from 79 euros.
Fair value moves up
DZ Bank kept Continental on Buy and raised the fair value to 86 euros from 79 euros, citing the sale of ContiTech at a higher value than expected. The same note pointed to a clear improvement in the core business margin in the second quarter of 2026.
That is a 8.9 percent increase in the fair value, and it gives the stock a fresh valuation anchor for the first half of September 2026.
Second-quarter backdrop
In the same market data set, Continental's 2025 revenue was listed at 19.68 billion euros, EBITDA at 1.858 billion euros, and EBIT at 1.56 billion euros. The portal also showed 2025 EBITDA margin at 9.44 percent and EBIT margin at 10.34 percent.
Those figures place the latest analyst call against a business that is still generating sizable cash earnings, even as the group reshapes itself toward a more focused tire profile.
Continental shares and the ContiTech reset
The next debate is whether the disposal of ContiTech and the margin trend in the tire business can keep supporting the rerating story.
ContiTech is the hinge
ContiTech remains the strategic hinge in the restructuring story because the sale is already priced as a value step, not just a portfolio cleanup. The valuation update implies that investors are looking beyond the 71.13 EUR trading level on September 4, 2026 and toward the cash that may be distributed.
Tire business matters now
The market now weighs the tire business more heavily, because that is where the remaining earnings profile should become clearer after the disposal process. For Continental stock, the key question is whether the second-quarter margin improvement can carry into the rest of 2026.
Continental tires
Continental's tire business is the most visible product engine left in the group's reshaping, and it is the segment investors will watch most closely after the ContiTech sale. The latest analyst note and the market data both point to that narrower industrial profile as the main rerating driver.
Stock level
Continental stock was at 71.13 EUR on September 4, 2026, with a five-day gain of 1.88 percent and a year-to-date rise of 0.46 percent, according to Marketscreener. The same source listed the fair value at 86 euros.
