OHB (ISIN DE0005936124) was trading at EUR 200.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026, at 10:32 a.m. CEST, 2.77 percent above the Xetra close of October 20, 2026 at EUR 195.00. The move followed the European Space Agency awarding OHB System feasibility and preliminary design studies for the OASIS lunar infrastructure project on October 19, 2026, as Les Echos reported.

ESA opens a lunar pathway

OHB is prime contractor for the OASIS studies and will lead the overall system concept with partners. The proposed infrastructure would provide power, communications and data storage for future lunar payloads, linking the project with European programs including Argonaut, Ariane 6 and Moonlight.

The announcement adds a long-term technology angle to OHB's order story. On October 16, 2026, EQS News published a NuWays update that cited OHB's nearly EUR 1.00 billion IRIS2 order and continued growth expectations.

What does EUR 340 imply?

NuWays reiterated a buy rating and a EUR 340.00 12-month target for OHB on October 16, 2026. That target stands 69.66 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, but it depends on anticipated contracts rather than completed awards. The research projected total output of EUR 347.00 million for the third quarter of 2026 and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 39.00 million.

Recent figures and next dates

In the first half of 2026, OHB increased total output 11.00 percent to EUR 627.90 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose 31.00 percent to EUR 60.40 million, according to MS Aktuell. OHB's period result fell from EUR 11.50 million to EUR 4.80 million in the same period, showing why the next margin update matters.

OHB's investor-relations calendar lists November 12, 2026 for the nine-month 2026 results and November 17 to November 18, 2026 for the Deutsche Bank Global Space and Defense Tech Summit, according to OHB.

Stock gains while execution matters

The combination of lunar studies, satellite orders and a high analyst target gives OHB a broad growth narrative. The counterweight is execution: the first-half period result declined even as output and adjusted EBITDA increased.

OHB stock was trading at EUR 200.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026, at 10:32 a.m. CEST, 2.77 percent above the Xetra close of October 20, 2026 at EUR 195.00. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of OHB stock.
