For investors, that combination of a double-digit billion order backlog after the first half of 2026 and a share price around the mid-70-euro region underlines the tension between short-term sector swings and longer-term contract visibility, as illustrated by the comparison between the EUR 76.68 closing price on September 14, 2026 and the implied valuation gap versus the 52-week high mentioned in the earlier wrap from Ad-hoc-news.
