Hochtief (ISIN DE0006070006) was last at EUR 412.40 on Xetra on October 6, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, up 2.54 percent from EUR 402.20. The construction group is extending its nuclear infrastructure position through a Sellafield framework contract worth up to GBP 1.5 billion.

Sellafield contract spans 15 years

According to the Nuclear Industry Association on September 30, 2026, Hochtief Infrastructure was selected for Lot 2 of Sellafield's Project and Asset Care Execution framework. The lot covers specialist nuclear materials, infrastructure and remediation, with an initial nine-year term and a six-year extension option.

The contract gives Hochtief a long-duration position at the UK's largest nuclear site. Börse Express also reported on October 4, 2026 that Turner Construction was selected for a US military construction program with a shared spending ceiling of USD 900 million.

Half-year growth raised guidance

Hochtief's first-half 2026 revenue rose 10 percent to EUR 20.1 billion, while operating profit increased 35 percent to EUR 480 million, according to FinanzNachrichten. The order backlog reached EUR 84.8 billion, 23 percent above the prior-year level.

The company raised its 2026 operating net profit guidance to EUR 1.025 billion to EUR 1.1 billion from EUR 950 million to EUR 1.025 billion. The comparison matters because the Sellafield award adds long-term project capacity while the interim figures already show higher earnings conversion.

Consensus remains above the stock

Börse Express lists a Hold consensus from five analyst houses and a 12-month target of EUR 487.00. That target is 18.1 percent above the Xetra price of EUR 412.40, using the same currency and the October 6, 2026 reference price.

The next operating checkpoint is scheduled for November 5, 2026, when Hochtief is due to publish its first nine-month results, as Börse Express reported. That release will show whether the higher guidance is supported by continued order conversion.

Stock remains below yearly high

Hochtief was last at EUR 412.40 on Xetra on October 6, 2026, with a 52-week range of EUR 244.00 to EUR 549.00. The price was 24.9 percent below the yearly high, leaving the contract pipeline and November results as the next measurable tests for the valuation.
