Vestas Wind stock gains support from Jefferies upgrade and Q2 beat

Vestas Wind stock is trading around 208.20 Danish kroner on Nasdaq Copenhagen as of September 1, 2026, after a strong second quarter and a recent analyst upgrade that lifted its price target to 240 Danish kroner.

Vestas Wind Systems A/S stock (ISIN DK0010268606) is trading around 208.20 Danish kroner as of September 1, 2026 on Nasdaq Copenhagen, with the share up about 20.07% since the start of the year according to market data compiled by MarketScreener. As of the same date, the last closing price translated into 27.86 in euro terms, while the stock remains supported by demand for wind power across Europe.

Jefferies and Berenberg see upside

According to a recent analyst note summarized by Zonebourse on September 1, 2026, Vestas shares closed at 208.20 Danish kroner, with a five day change of minus 2.62 percent but a gain of 20.07 percent since January 1, 2026. The same overview indicates a last close of 27.86 in euro, underlining that the stock is trading close to the average analyst target.

The MarketScreener consensus shows an average target price of 28.62 euro and a mean recommendation of Outperform based on 25 analysts as of early September 2026, only a small premium of about 0.03 percent over the last close of 28.61 euro. Within this framework, one recent highlight is that Berenberg upgraded Vestas to a Buy rating on August 27, 2026, raising its target price to 240 Danish kroner from 196 Danish kroner, which represents an increase of roughly 22.4 percent in the target level.

Q2 2026 results and guidance underpin the story

The analyst optimism, as reflected in the August 27, 2026 Berenberg upgrade described in the MarketScreener news overview, is linked to what the bank called an exceptional second quarter beat. For investors, the key point is that the latest reported quarter, Q2 2026, showed Vestas delivering stronger revenue and profitability than previously anticipated, although exact figures in this overview are summarized rather than broken out in detail. The upgrade from a Hold to a Buy rating, together with the move in the target price from 196 to 240 Danish kroner, signals that one major European bank now expects meaningful upside from current levels.

Beyond individual upgrades, the consensus data compiled in the same MarketScreener overview highlight that, as of the end of August 2026, Vestas trades near the average target price despite being up 20.07 percent year to date. In practical terms, this means that the share price of 208.20 Danish kroner as of September 1, 2026 is positioned below the 240 Danish kroner target set by Berenberg but close to the broader euro based average of 28.62, leaving some room for further gains if the company continues to execute on its order backlog and margin plans.
