DZ Bank flags NIVEA pressure

Analyst Thomas Maul described NIVEA's recovery potential as uncertain, while saying stronger dermatology brands could be overshadowed by weakness at the core brand. The report also points to higher marketing spending, local consumer needs and more affordable product launches as the main levers for a recovery.

Jefferies had already cut its target from EUR 76.00 to EUR 74.00 and retained a Hold rating on September 28, 2026, according to Marketscreener. Its assessment cited inventory reductions in Western Europe, retailer tensions and frozen assets in Russia, while describing the dermatology business as resilient.
