Deutsche Bank keeps target at EUR 24.00
The target stands 10.45 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, calculated from EUR 21.73 to EUR 24.00. Deutsche Bank's unchanged Hold view places the emphasis on execution rather than a fresh upgrade or downgrade, while the target still provides a clear numerical reference for the market's current valuation debate.
Second-quarter earnings improved
Philips reported EUR 4.36 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, while adjusted earnings per share rose to EUR 0.40 from EUR 0.26 in the second quarter of 2025. Simply Wall St also lists net income of EUR 384.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, up from EUR 242.0 million a year earlier, an increase of 58.68 percent.
The company investor-relations page identifies July 28, 2026 as the publication date for the second-quarter results, while the same Simply Wall St summary records comparable sales growth of 3.00 percent to 4.50 percent as Philips' fiscal-year 2026 outlook. The figures show a stronger profit contribution than revenue growth alone would suggest, but the comparison also keeps the market focused on the quality and durability of earnings improvement.
November results set the next test
Philips is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on November 3, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That date will give investors a fresh test of order momentum, margin progression and whether the second-quarter earnings improvement is extending into the second half.
