Barclays raises its target

Barclays lifted its Symrise price target from EUR 94 to EUR 96 in research dated September 23, 2026, while keeping an Equal Weight rating, as FinanzNachrichten reported. The bank's analyst projected third-quarter operating revenue growth of 5.5 percent, placing the estimate above the market consensus cited in the report.

The EUR 96 target stands EUR 5.00 above the October 2 price, a 5.5 percent difference. That spread makes the October 29 reporting date the next concrete test for whether the expected growth rate translates into reported sales.

Buybacks add a measurable support

Symrise repurchased 141,600 shares between September 21 and September 25, 2026, at a weighted average price of EUR 92.4990, according to EQS Group. Since the program began on February 2, 2026, the cumulative total reached 4,232,618 shares by September 25, 2026.

The buyback average was EUR 1.4990 above the October 2 last price, while the repurchased volume represented 0.10 percent of share capital for that reporting week. The figures provide a specific capital-allocation reference alongside the operating growth outlook.
