Elisa (FI0009007884) received a lower Deutsche Bank price target of EUR 40.50, down from EUR 42.50, on October 15, 2026, while the bank retained its Hold rating, according to MarketScreener. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock stood at EUR 35.59 on October 15, 2026 at 1:17 p.m. CEST.
Target reset reaches investors
The revised target leaves EUR 4.91, or 13.79 percent, between the market quotation and Deutsche Bank's new level. The bank's Hold stance gives the target cut a cautious tone rather than a change to a positive investment view.
Three events frame the stock
On July 15, 2026, Elisa published its half-year financial report, with second-quarter revenue of EUR 550.80 million and net income of EUR 88.90 million, according to Elisa. On September 23, 2026, the company said its transformation program included EUR 40.00 million in gross operating-expense savings, according to Cision. Deutsche Bank's October 15 target cut is the latest of the three events.
What does the outlook mean?
Elisa's 2026 comparable EBITDA guidance stands at EUR 815.00 million to EUR 845.00 million, while capital expenditure is expected to equal 12 percent of revenue, according to Cision. The company also expects telecom service revenue growth of 0 percent to 2 percent and international software-services organic growth above 5 percent, leaving execution and margin delivery as the key tests for the next report.
Three dates frame upcoming trading
Elisa is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 interim report on October 21, 2026, according to Cision. Affärsvärlden lists October 23, 2026 as the next dividend date for Elisa.
