SMA Solar stock (ISIN DE000A0DJ6J9) traded at EUR 55.80 on Xetra on September 17, 2026, after a 0.9 percent rise in the session. The move came as SMA Solar Technology AG highlighted a new production site with an investment of about EUR 80 million and a planned annual capacity of more than 60 gigawatts.

Factory opening sets the tone

According to MarketScreener on September 17, 2026, SMA opened a new plant at its Niestetal headquarters and said the project cost about EUR 80 million. The report also said the Gigawatt Factory is designed to reach more than 60 gigawatts of annual capacity at full load.

For investors, that scale matters because it comes on top of the latest quarter. According to finanzen.ch, SMA Solar reported EPS of EUR 2.14 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, versus EUR -1.38 a year earlier, while revenue fell 3.21 percent to EUR 345.69 million from EUR 357.15 million.

Quarterly numbers stay mixed

The same finanzen.ch update said analysts expect full-year 2026 EPS of EUR 3.25, giving the stock a fresh valuation anchor as the market prices in the next phase of execution. The contrast is clear: earnings recovered sharply year on year, but sales still slipped in the latest reported quarter.

According to finanzen.ch, the shares had traded at EUR 55.15 at 9:28 a.m. and later at EUR 55.80, with intraday volume of 1,925 shares and a 52-week high of EUR 70.70 reached on May 18, 2026.

Stock stays below the high

SMA Solar stock was still 26.70 percent below that 52-week high on September 17, 2026. The factory opening gives the share a visible catalyst, but the market is also weighing the still-lower revenue base from Q2 2026.
