Hochtief stock (ISIN DE0006070006) gained support from a raised 2026 operating profit outlook and a record order backlog, with the shares closing around EUR 395.40 on Xetra on September 18, 2026, up 0.76 percent on the day.

Guidance now matters

According to ad-hoc-news on September 20, 2026, Hochtief lifted its full-year 2026 operating profit guidance to EUR 1,025 million to EUR 1,100 million from EUR 950 million to EUR 1,025 million.

The same report said first-half 2026 operating profit rose 35 percent to EUR 480 million, while revenue increased 10 percent to EUR 20.1 billion.

Analysts are close to the chart

According to finanznachrichten.de on August 12, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research started Hochtief with Hold and a price target of EUR 477, while Barclays cut its target to EUR 487 on August 4, 2026 and kept Equal Weight.

That leaves the stock below both targets and still well under the 52-week high of EUR 554.50 reached in May, even after the year-to-date gain of about 18 percent cited in the same market overview.

Price still lags peak

Hochtief closed at EUR 395.40 on Xetra on September 18, 2026, with market capitalization listed at EUR 6.3 billion and intraday trading around EUR 392.20 earlier that session.
