Vestas Wind Systems stock (ISIN DK0010268606) is trading close to its 52-week high on Nasdaq Copenhagen as of September 11, 2026, with the shares around DKK 215.80 and up roughly 2.1 percent from the prior close in the latest session per data from Investing.com.
Nordea lifts price target after Q2 strength
According to MarketScreener on September 11, 2026, Nordea reiterated its Buy rating on Vestas and raised its price target to DKK 285 from DKK 270, citing stronger medium-term earnings after a robust second quarter.
The new target of DKK 285 implies upside of around one-third from the current share price and reflects Nordea’s view that the stock still trades at a discount to its historical valuation multiples despite the recent rally, with the bank pointing out that Vestas is valued at below 10 times expected EV/EBIT for 2028 and around a 30 percent discount to its long-run average according to the same analysis from MarketScreener.
Q2 2026 results show margin turnaround
As Morningstar reports in its latest company overview, Vestas delivered a standout second quarter of 2026, with group EBIT surging to EUR 446 million compared with a much lower level a year earlier, and the adjusted EBIT margin improving to 9.4 percent from just 1.5 percent in the prior-year quarter.
According to the same analysis from Morningstar, this margin turnaround prompted Vestas to upgrade its full-year 2026 group EBIT margin guidance by 100 basis points, now targeting a range of 7 to 9 percent versus a previously lower band, and that guidance change helped push the shares up by about 20 percent around the time of the release.
Separately, Recharge highlights that Vestas achieved revenue of EUR 4.7 billion in Q2 2026, representing growth of 26 percent year-on-year, while reiterating the upgraded EBIT margin guidance of 7 to 9 percent before special items for the full year.
Stock trades near top of its 52-week range
Per the latest quote overview from Investing.com as of September 11, 2026, Vestas Wind Systems shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen traded at about DKK 215.80 with a prior close of DKK 211.40, a daily high near DKK 216.80 and a low around DKK 212.80, within a 52-week range from roughly DKK 112.00 to DKK 220.20.
This positioning leaves the stock only around 2 percent below its 52-week high of DKK 220.20 and almost double its 52-week low, underlining how the market has rerated the company following the Q2 2026 earnings beat and subsequent guidance hike reported by Morningstar.
Next earnings date and investor focus
According to the agenda section on MarketScreener, Vestas plans to publish its Q3 2026 results on November 11, 2026, giving investors a clear next checkpoint when the company will update on order intake, execution and margins.
With the stock already up more than 20 percent since the Q2 2026 report according to Morningstar and trading close to the top of its 52-week range per Investing.com data, the key question for investors over the coming months will be whether Vestas can sustain mid- to high-single-digit EBIT margins while continuing to grow revenue at double-digit rates in a competitive wind-turbine market.
