Rational stock (ISIN DE0007010803) was last at EUR 572.00 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 11:39 a.m. CEST, 0.26 percent below the Xetra close of EUR 573.50 on September 28, 2026. The company is entering the next reporting phase with growth and profitability still backed by its first-half performance.
First half delivers higher profit
Rational reported revenue of EUR 642 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 6.00 percent year over year. According to Yahoo Finance, the company also reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 324 million, up 4.00 percent, in the earnings call dated August 6, 2026.
First-half EBIT increased 11.00 percent to EUR 170 million, producing an EBIT margin of 26.50 percent. The result included EUR 14 million in US tariff refunds, while management said the underlying margin excluding that effect was 24.30 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.
UBS keeps EUR 805 target
UBS retained its Buy rating and EUR 805.00 price target on September 14, 2026. As FinanzNachrichten reported, analyst Olivier Calvet highlighted North American growth potential, resilient European business and moderate price increases outside the United States.
The target is EUR 233.00 above the Lang & Schwarz price, but the comparison uses different reference conditions because the current quote has no same-venue prior close. The more important operating counterweight is cost pressure: Rational expects its full-year EBIT margin within a 25.00 percent to 26.00 percent corridor, with tariffs and logistics affecting the second half.
November results set the next checkpoint
Rational's investor calendar schedules the statement on the first nine months of 2026 and the related earnings call for November 5, 2026. The date appears on the company's RATIONAL AG financial calendar.
Stock remains below yearly high
Rational's market capitalization was EUR 6.5 billion on September 29, 2026. Its 52-week range was EUR 562.00 to EUR 776.50, placing the Lang & Schwarz quote EUR 5.50 above the yearly low and EUR 204.50 below the yearly high.
