Deutsche Bank Research cut its price target for Krones from EUR 170.00 to EUR 167.00 on October 21, 2026, while keeping its Buy rating, according to MarketScreener. The new target stands 45.72 percent above the EUR 114.60 price. Krones was trading at EUR 114.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 5:11 p.m. CEST, up 1.42 percent versus the Xetra close of October 20, 2026 at EUR 113.00.

Deutsche Bank trims its target

The bank expects organic revenue growth of 2.50 percent and operating profit growth of 8.00 percent against the year-earlier period, according to the same October 21, 2026 report. The unchanged Buy rating therefore sits alongside a lower target, giving investors a more cautious earnings marker without changing the formal recommendation.

Krones' latest reported quarter supplied the operating backdrop. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue reached EUR 1.35 billion, up 1.11 percent from the second quarter of 2025, while net income was EUR 70.50 million, according to KoalaGains. Net income was EUR 68.50 million in the first quarter of 2026, so the quarter-on-quarter increase was 2.92 percent.

Stock sits below its yearly high

The EUR 114.60 quote is 20.53 percent below Krones' 52-week high of EUR 144.20 and 11.05 percent above its 52-week low of EUR 103.20, both as of October 21, 2026. The market capitalization was EUR 3.6 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio was 12.39 on the same date. Trading volume reached 17,085 shares in the latest structured market snapshot.

Next results arrive November 5

Krones is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2026 results on November 5, 2026, according to MarketScreener. That report will provide the next periodized test of demand, revenue growth and operating profit against the expectations cited by Deutsche Bank Research on October 21, 2026.

Price and target now diverge

The target range matters because the new EUR 167.00 objective remains materially above the market quote, even after the reduction from EUR 170.00. Krones also trades below its annual high while its second-quarter revenue and net income remained higher than the comparable and prior-quarter figures cited above.

Stock trades after the Xetra close

The latest euro quote places Krones above the October 20 Xetra close by EUR 1.60, or 1.42 percent. The price was EUR 114.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 5:11 p.m. CEST, while the Xetra close was EUR 113.00 on October 20, 2026.
