Jungheinrich stock (ISIN DE0006219934) was trading at EUR 22.76 on Xetra on October 2, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, down 2.57 percent on the session. The latest half-year figures show rising orders but sharply lower profitability, keeping the earnings outlook at the center of the investment case.

Profit falls while orders rise

Jungheinrich's first-half 2026 incoming orders increased 7.7 percent to EUR 2.954 billion, while revenue reached EUR 2.669 billion, according to Investing.com in its September 2026 report on the company. EBIT fell from EUR 210.5 million to EUR 144.9 million, reducing the margin to 5.4 percent, while profit after tax declined from EUR 139.0 million to EUR 73.2 million.

The contrast matters: order growth was positive, but earnings were pressured by one-off effects, competition and pricing. The company had already reduced its 2026 EBIT forecast to EUR 340 million-400 million from EUR 380 million-450 million in its July 23, 2026 announcement, while the expected EBIT margin moved to 6.2 percent-7.0 percent from 7.2 percent-8.0 percent, according to EQS News.

Analysts see recovery potential

The analyst consensus remains Buy, with 11 analysts, an average 12-month price target of EUR 35.45, a high target of EUR 47.00 and a low target of EUR 24.00, according to Marketscreener. The average target lies 55.8 percent above the EUR 22.76 Xetra price, although the low target is only 5.4 percent higher.

Berenberg separately kept a Buy rating and a EUR 37.00 target in its September 24, 2026 strategy study, as reported by Finanznachrichten. That target is 62.6 percent above the October 2 reference price, placing the market's debate firmly between the order trend and the earnings pressure.

Xetra price marks the reference

Jungheinrich stock stood at EUR 22.76 on Xetra on October 2, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, with the daily change at minus 2.57 percent. For investors, the next reported operating figures will test whether stronger orders can translate into improved margins.
