Analyst targets remain elevated

Jefferies' EUR 460 target stands 34.99 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, calculated from EUR 340.80. The assessment assumes MTU can deliver a solid third quarter and approach the upper end of its 2026 outlook, while the current quote shows that the market is demanding fresh evidence.

FinanzNachrichten reported on October 6, 2026, that Deutsche Bank Research raised its target from EUR 435 to EUR 457 and kept a Buy rating. Analyst Christophe Menard expected third-quarter revenue growth of 10 percent.

Three milestones shape the story

On July 30, 2026, MTU Aero Engines reported adjusted first-half revenue of EUR 4.7 billion, up 13 percent, and adjusted operating profit of EUR 692 million, up 5 percent. Deutsche Bank raised its target from EUR 435 to EUR 457 on October 6, 2026, and Jefferies kept EUR 460 on October 13, 2026.

What does October 28 mean?

The next scheduled reporting date is October 28, 2026, when MTU is due to publish third-quarter results, according to MarketScreener. The first-half adjusted EBIT margin was 14.80 percent, down from 15.90 percent a year earlier, while net investments in property, plant and equipment rose 37 percent to EUR 173 million in the first half of 2026, according to FinanzNachrichten. That combination makes cash conversion and margin resilience central metrics for the upcoming release.
