Deutsche Bank cut its price target for Veolia stock from EUR 39.00 to EUR 37.00 on October 7, 2026, while keeping its Buy rating, according to Ideal Investisseur. Veolia stock was trading at EUR 31.91 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 10:09 a.m. CEST.

Why the target was reduced

The target reset keeps the analyst view constructive but places a lower numerical value on the shares. The EUR 37.00 target stands 15.95 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 31.91, calculated in the same currency.

The revision followed a difficult trading period for the environmental-services group. Deutsche Bank retained its Buy rating even as the target moved down by EUR 2.00, a 5.13 percent reduction from EUR 39.00.
