Rational AG stock (ISIN DE0007010803) is trading around EUR 584.50 on Xetra as of September 11, 2026, with investors reacting to a reiterated Buy rating from UBS that keeps the price target at EUR 805 as reported on September 14, 2026.

UBS reiterates Buy rating with EUR 805 target

According to MarketScreener on September 14, 2026, UBS analyst Olivier Calvet reiterates a positive view on Rational stock and maintains a Buy rating with an unchanged price target of EUR 805.

The Xetra quote overview embedded in the same report shows Rational at EUR 584.50 with a daily gain of 0.52 percent at the prior close on September 11, 2026, while a pre-open indication is listed at EUR 585.75 for September 14, 2026, highlighting modest upward momentum heading into the new trading session.

Half-year 2026 revenue growth and tariff refund effect

In a recent coverage of Rational, Finanznachrichten reports that Rational’s revenue in the first half of 2026 grew organically by 8 percent to EUR 642 million, marking a solid mid-single-digit expansion in its core business compared with earlier periods.

The same article notes that historical first-half revenue in 2020 stood at EUR 298 million, underscoring how Rational has more than doubled its half-year revenue over six years, even before adjusting for inflation or currency effects.

As MarketScreener recalls in its recent news chronology on Rational, a refund of customs duties on US imports contributed to a profit increase earlier in 2026, even as the share price temporarily weakened after the announcement, illustrating that operational upside can be offset by profit-taking and broader market sentiment.

Analyst consensus and valuation context

The analyst landscape for Rational has been active in recent weeks, with several houses reiterating constructive views alongside the latest UBS call on September 14, 2026, which keeps the EUR 805 target substantially above the current Xetra region around EUR 584.50.

Within the analyst overview compiled by MarketScreener, previous updates mention Buy recommendations from Goldman Sachs and Bernstein as well as a neutral stance from DZ Bank and Deutsche Bank earlier in August 2026, indicating a mixed but generally positive institutional view that investors can weigh against the stock’s strong multi-year revenue growth.

From a valuation angle, the gap of roughly EUR 220 between UBS’s EUR 805 target and the recent Xetra price region near EUR 584.50 suggests that the bank still sees considerable upside potential if Rational continues to expand its global footprint and sustains mid- to high-single-digit organic revenue growth.

Stock levels and trading perspective

Per the Xetra data referenced by MarketScreener for September 11, 2026, Rational closed at EUR 584.50, with the pre-open indication at EUR 585.75 on September 14, 2026 pointing to a slight positive bias as trading prepares to resume; detailed 52-week high, 52-week low, market capitalization and volume figures were not specified in the available sources and therefore are not included here.
