Lotus Bakeries (ISIN BE0003604155) received an Equal Weight initiation from Morgan Stanley on October 9, 2026, with a EUR 12.90 price target. The target sits 3.86 percent above the EUR 12,420.00 Lang & Schwarz price. At 2:15 p.m. CEST on October 13, 2026, the stock was 0.32 percent above the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 12,380.00.

Revenue growth stays in double digits

Lotus Bakeries reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 749.09 million, up 14.00 percent from the comparable period. StoxEurope also cited an operating result of EUR 130.20 million for the same period, providing a second measure of the company's operating scale.

The growth figure matters because Morgan Stanley's October 9 assessment places the target only 3.86 percent above the latest euro price, despite the 14.00 percent first-half revenue increase. That gap keeps valuation, rather than sales momentum alone, central to the market discussion.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The current EUR 12,420.00 price is 5.62 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 13,160.00 and 113.77 percent above the 52-week low of EUR 5,810.00. These levels and the price are dated October 13, 2026. The bid was EUR 12,400.00 and the ask was EUR 12,440.00 at 2:15 p.m. CEST.
