Rational stock (DE0007010803) closed at EUR 584.50 on Xetra on September 11, 2026, and UBS kept a Buy rating with a EUR 805 target, leaving a spread of EUR 220.50. The same report put the upside at 37.7 percent and made the broker call the clearest fresh catalyst around the shares.

UBS keeps the upside open

According to ad-hoc-news.de on September 14, 2026, UBS reiterated its Buy rating and left the EUR 805 target unchanged. The same report said the stock had closed at EUR 584.50 on September 11, 2026, so the target sat EUR 220.50 above the last completed Xetra close.

For investors, the size of that gap matters more than the label. A target at EUR 805 versus EUR 584.50 implies 37.7 percent upside, and that is the most concrete broker-based comparison in the current tape.

2024 remains the base

Rational's investor relations page says the company posted EUR 1.194 billion in revenue, EUR 314 million in EBIT and a 26 percent EBIT margin in 2024. It also listed a 50 percent global market share and a 77 percent equity ratio for that year.

According to RATIONAL AG, those 2024 figures frame the stock's valuation debate better than any broad market narrative. The company also said the business serves a worldwide market potential of 4.8 million combi-steamer customers, of which about 75 percent still use traditional cooking equipment.

Price stays near the low

Rational stock ended the last completed Xetra session at EUR 584.50 on September 11, 2026, after a daily gain of 0.52 percent. In the same report, the share was described as only 0.4 percent above its 52-week low, which keeps the chart position tight even after the UBS call.
