Jenoptik stock was last at EUR 41.28 on Xetra on September 29, 2026, up 2.08 percent from the EUR 40.44 prior close. The latest analyst action adds a second reference point, with Stifel setting a EUR 55.00 target on September 28, 2026.
Stifel sets a EUR 55.00 target
According to stock3 on September 28, 2026, Stifel initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a EUR 55.00 price target. The call followed a major share-price advance during 2026 and puts execution against the earnings outlook at the center of the investment case.
Jefferies had already raised its target from EUR 45.00 to EUR 48.00 while retaining a Buy rating on September 10, 2026. MarketScreener linked the upgrade to stronger first-half order intake and backlog visibility.
Orders outpace first-half revenue
Jenoptik's first-half 2026 order intake reached EUR 723.4 million, an increase of 53.00 percent from the prior-year period, while revenue rose 1.00 percent to EUR 503.2 million. The contrast shows why analysts are emphasizing future conversion of orders rather than the modest top-line increase alone.
First-half EBITDA increased 25.50 percent to EUR 98.9 million, lifting the EBITDA margin to 19.70 percent. These figures were reported by IT Boltwise on September 8, 2026, based on the company's August 12 interim release.
Guidance points to the next report
Jenoptik confirmed its 2026 revenue-growth corridor of 5.00-9.00 percent on September 19, 2026, with management pointing toward the upper half of the range, according to Investing.com. The company's investor calendar lists the Q3 2026 report for November 10, 2026, making order conversion and margin delivery the next measurable checkpoints.
Stock stays below the yearly high
At EUR 41.28, the Xetra quote stood below the 52-week high of EUR 48.42 and above the 52-week low of EUR 16.92 on September 29, 2026. Jenoptik's market capitalization was EUR 2.4 billion on the same date, while the EUR 55.00 Stifel target provides a higher benchmark than the current quotation.
