Wendel (FR0000120966) stock firmed after a Berenberg upgrade reported by Boursorama, while Boursorama showed a 216.20 EUR close on September 4, 2026 and a 5-day gain of 3.05 percent. The same page also listed a 3-month analyst target of 227.55 EUR and a 4.47 percent forecast dividend yield for 2026.
Upgrade and price level
The Boursorama quote page said the stock added 4.23 percent on September 4, 2026, after Berenberg moved its stance from hold to buy and lifted the price target from 190 EUR to 245 EUR. That is a 28.9 percent increase in the target, and it gives the share price a clear reference point.
For investors, the gap between the 216.20 EUR close and the 245 EUR target is the key market marker. It suggests the move is not only about a single session, but also about a higher valuation band.
Latest operating picture
The most recent company update in the same market feed was a September 1, 2026 announcement on a group marketing appointment, and Boursorama also flagged a Reuters item from August 25, 2026 about a Jiangnan shipyard order for four new LNG carriers. On the same page, the latest reported operating context referenced the first half of 2026, when Wendel recorded a net profit per share of 11.20 EUR and the portal showed an estimated 2026 net profit per share of 11.46 EUR.
That comparison is small, but it matters: the estimate implies only a 2.3 percent rise versus the 2025 figure. The dividend outlook is larger, with Boursorama showing 8.94 EUR per share for 2025 and 9.23 EUR for 2026.
