Jenoptik (ISIN DE000A2NB601) was trading at a substitute price of EUR 43.70 on Xetra on October 6, 2026 at 4:04 p.m. CEST, up 3.31 percent versus the prior close of EUR 42.30. On September 19, 2026, the company confirmed its 2026 outlook, according to Investing.com.
Guidance moves toward the upper range
Jenoptik now expects revenue growth of 5.00 percent to 9.00 percent in fiscal 2026 and an EBITDA margin of 20.00 percent to 21.00 percent. The company had previously guided to single-digit revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of 19.00 percent to 21.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance on August 12, 2026.
The first-half figures explain the change in tone. Revenue increased 1.00 percent year over year, while EBITDA rose more than 25.00 percent to around EUR 99.00 million and the EBITDA margin expanded by almost 4.00 percentage points, according to Yahoo Finance.
Semiconductor orders lead the recovery
Semiconductor and Advanced Manufacturing is the main operating lever. Its first-half revenue grew around 10.00 percent year over year, while the business posted an EBITDA margin close to 32.00 percent.
Group order intake increased more than 50.00 percent year over year in the first half of 2026, lifting the book-to-bill ratio to 1.40 and the order backlog to around EUR 825.00 million. The counterweight is automotive exposure: Jenoptik said continuing weakness in automotive-related businesses was included in the updated outlook, while its MPS unit remained slightly loss-making in the first half.
Jefferies target leaves a measurable gap
Jefferies raised its price target from EUR 45.00 to EUR 48.00 and kept a Buy rating on September 10, 2026, according to Business Insider. The EUR 48.00 target sits 9.84 percent above the substitute Xetra price of EUR 43.70.
Jenoptik is scheduled to publish its January to September 2026 quarterly update on November 10, 2026, according to its Jenoptik investor calendar. That release should show whether the strong order intake is converting into revenue as capacity expands.
Stock remains below its yearly high
The substitute Xetra price of EUR 43.70 on October 6, 2026 stood 9.75 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 48.42 and 140.77 percent above the 52-week low of EUR 18.15. Market capitalization was EUR 2.5 billion on the same date.
