Deutsche Lufthansa stock (ISIN DE0008232125) was trading at EUR 7.72 on Xetra on September 28, 2026, up 1.07 percent from the prior close of EUR 7.64. The immediate market backdrop is a cautious Bernstein view with a EUR 9.00 target.

Bernstein keeps a cautious target

According to finanzen.ch, Bernstein Research kept its Market-Perform rating and EUR 9.00 price target in an original study dated September 23, 2026. The analyst view places the target 16.58 percent above the Xetra price of EUR 7.72.

Bernstein analyst Alex Irving identified fuel costs as the central industry pressure, writing that airlines face a sharp increase in their largest cost factor as hedges expire. For Lufthansa, that assessment makes the gap between traffic demand and operating profitability more important than the daily price move.

Revenue rises, EPS remains pressured

In a report dated September 18, 2026, finanzen.net said Lufthansa reported EUR 11.14 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Revenue increased 7.93 percent from EUR 10.32 billion in the prior-year quarter, giving the company a clear top-line comparison despite pressure on earnings per share.

The same report put quarterly EPS at EUR 0.10, compared with EUR 0.84 in the prior-year period. That contrast leaves revenue growth as the stronger reported signal, while the EPS comparison highlights the sensitivity of airline profits to fuel and operating costs.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Lufthansa stock remained EUR 2.57 below its 52-week high of EUR 10.29 and EUR 1.00 above its 52-week low of EUR 6.72 on September 28, 2026. The current price therefore stands 24.98 percent below the yearly high and 14.88 percent above the yearly low.

The Xetra session showed a high of EUR 7.74, a low of EUR 7.60 and an opening price of EUR 7.71, with volume at 1,028,592 shares at 4:22 p.m. CEST. Market capitalization stood at EUR 9.3 billion on the same date.

What Lufthansa stock shows now

Lufthansa stock was last at EUR 7.72 on Xetra on September 28, 2026, with the positive daily change set against a 24.98 percent distance from the 52-week high. The investor debate is defined by 7.93 percent revenue growth versus the sharper EPS comparison from the second quarter.
