Traton (ISIN DE000TRAT0N7) was trading at EUR 34.33 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 12:17 p.m. CEST, down 0.29 percent versus the prior close of EUR 34.43. According to finanzen.net on October 2, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research kept its Buy rating and EUR 43.00 price target for Traton. The bank said strength in the US business offset weakness in Europe.
Deutsche Bank sees US strength
The EUR 43.00 target stands 25.79 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 34.33. Deutsche Bank Research linked its view to the outlook for Traton's quarterly report scheduled for October 28, 2026, making North American demand a key test for the thesis.
Second-quarter profit improved
Traton's second-quarter revenue rose 4.10 percent year over year to EUR 11.76 billion, while diluted earnings per share reached EUR 1.42 after EUR 0.49 in the prior-year quarter, according to Investing.com in its September 28, 2026 report. The comparison shows why analysts are weighing operating improvement against demand risks rather than treating the quarter as a simple volume story.
Net income was EUR 708.0 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2026, versus EUR 246.0 million in the same quarter a year earlier, according to Markets Insider on September 28, 2026. The earnings increase gives the October report a higher comparison base, especially if US orders soften.
October 28 report sets next test
The next confirmed quarterly report is October 28, 2026, according to comdirect. Bernstein Research kept a Market-Perform rating and a EUR 36.00 target in a note dated October 1, 2026, citing an expected operating picture and uncertainty around US order trends, as reported by finanznachrichten.de.
