Computacenter (ISIN GB00BV9FP302) was last at EUR 66.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. CEST. MarketBeat reported that Berenberg had raised its target from GBp 5,300 to GBp 6,500 on September 9, 2026. The target change followed Computacenter's strong first-half operating performance, but the dated euro quote remains the reference for German investors.
Three September target signals
MarketBeat said JPMorgan raised its target from GBp 5,000 to GBp 6,000 on September 7, 2026. The same source said Jefferies set a GBp 6,500 target on September 8, followed by Berenberg's move from GBp 5,300 to GBp 6,500 on September 9.
The three targets put the analyst discussion between GBp 6,000 and GBp 6,500, while Computacenter's finance data showed a London price of GBp 5,600 on October 12, 2026. The range is a valuation context rather than a forecast from this article.
Revenue growth meets margin pressure
Yahoo Finance reported that first-half 2026 revenue rose 71.6 percent to GBP 6.85 billion, while adjusted pretax profit increased 87 percent to GBP 152.4 million. The product backlog reached GBP 9.3 billion, and management raised its full-year adjusted profit forecast to at least GBP 380 million against prior analyst consensus of GBP 340.9 million.
The growth came with a trade-off. Yahoo Finance said gross margin fell from 12.6 percent to 9.6 percent as hardware sales expanded, while North America generated 62 percent of divisional operating profit. That combination makes profit conversion the key test after the revenue surge.
What comes next for shareholders
