MLP stock was last at EUR 10.64 on Xetra on October 5, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, up 4.72 percent from the prior close. The move followed a company forecast increase announced on October 2, when MLP SE raised its fiscal 2026 EBIT range to EUR 110-120 million from EUR 100-110 million.

Higher forecast follows strong Q3

The company expects Q3 2026 EBIT to exceed the EUR 18.3 million recorded in Q3 2025. The main driver is performance-based compensation linked to investment concepts in wealth management, giving the forecast a direct connection to investment performance.

MLP SE reported a Q3 2026 sales-revenue effect of EUR 21 million from performance-based compensation, compared with EUR 2.8 million in Q3 2025. The comparison shows why the new EBIT range is more than a routine adjustment.

Analysts raise their targets

On October 5, 2026, NuWays kept its Buy recommendation and raised its MLP target to EUR 14 from EUR 12. The research, published by Deutsche Boerse, also lifted its fiscal 2026 EBIT estimate to EUR 123 million from EUR 116 million.

Berenberg maintained its Buy rating and raised its target to EUR 15 from EUR 13 after the forecast change, according to Aktiencheck. The two target changes put the analysts' attention on the durability of performance fees and interest income rather than on the forecast headline alone.

Results arrive on November 12

MLP will publish its full Q3 and nine-month 2026 figures on November 12, 2026, according to MLP SE. That release should show whether the Q3 fee contribution translated into a broader improvement in the underlying earnings mix.
