Stock sits below its yearly high

The Xetra price of EUR 98.90 was EUR 16.70 below the 52-week high of EUR 115.60 and EUR 21.40 above the 52-week low of EUR 77.50, with both levels dated October 21, 2026. The stock therefore stood 14.45 percent below its high and 27.61 percent above its low.

The October 28 reporting date is the next concrete event for investors tracking whether order intake and margins match the expectations cited by Jefferies.
