Sixt stock climbs as Berenberg lifts its view
Published on 08/19/2026 at 20:26 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Sixt stock is trading with fresh support after an upgrade to Buy and a first-half update that showed Q2 revenue rising 9.9% to EUR 1.19 billion. The shares last closed at EUR 60.60 on August 18, 2026, and changed hands at EUR 60.10 during the latest session snapshot.
On August 18, 2026, the stock was also described as higher after a MarketScreener report on the Berenberg upgrade, which framed the move as part of a broader reassessment of the German mobility group. The latest market snapshot also shows a market cap of EUR 2.84 billion, a 52-week range of EUR 48.95 to EUR 64.90, and volume of 15,495 shares.
Q2 growth stays visible
Sixt's latest quarter still gives investors a clear operating reference point: revenue increased 9.9% year over year to EUR 1.19 billion in Q2 2026, while net income rose 5.8% to EUR 82.97 million. Gross profit reached EUR 891.91 million in the same quarter, and EBITDA was EUR 227.95 million.
For the first half of 2026, the company confirmed its full-year outlook and reported that the group continued to expand across all three regions. The current consensus view on the stock points to a mean target price of EUR 93.50 versus a recent quote in the low EUR 60s, while the year-to-date share price return stood at +14.34% on August 18, 2026.
Valuation and leverage
The valuation picture is still anchored by the latest reported numbers, not just the share price. Sixt's trailing twelve-month revenue stands at EUR 4.46 billion, net income at EUR 304.38 million, and total debt at EUR 4.50 billion, which keeps the balance sheet central to the debate.
That combination matters because the business is still growing and still carrying a large debt load at the same time. Revenue for fiscal 2025 was EUR 4.28 billion, up from EUR 4.00 billion in fiscal 2024, while diluted EPS for fiscal 2025 came in at EUR 6.09 versus EUR 5.20 a year earlier.
SIXT rent and share
The core product set remains broad, led by SIXT rent, SIXT share, SIXT ride and SIXT+. The company says the app gives customers access to about 240,000 vehicles and around 1.5 million connected drivers in more than 100 countries.
Price and level
Sixt stock last traded at EUR 60.10 in the latest snapshot, with a previous close of EUR 60.60 and a daily range of EUR 59.80 to EUR 61.40 on August 19, 2026. The quote also sits well above the 52-week low of EUR 48.95 and below the 52-week high of EUR 64.90.
