Analyst target reaches EUR 82

The bank highlighted expanded international vegetable breeding programs and faster market entry for tomatoes, peppers, melons and cucumbers, according to DER AKTIONÄR. The new fair value is 20.32 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price.

What does EUR 82 mean for valuation?

The target places the analyst's reference value EUR 13.85 above the current euro quote. That gap matters because the latest full-year figures showed a mixed operating picture: Investing.com reported fiscal 2025/2026 net sales of EUR 1.63 billion, down 3.00 percent, while net income rose 13.10 percent to EUR 158.00 million. The reported EBITDA margin was 21.10 percent, but the adjusted margin fell to 19.30 percent after special effects.

Three dates frame the next steps

KWS Saat extended the executive contract of Felix Büchting for six years on March 13, 2026, and reported a 2.60 percent revenue increase after nine months on May 12, 2026. On October 20, 2026, DZ Bank lifted its fair value to EUR 82.00, according to DER AKTIONÄR.

The next scheduled company dates are the first-quarter 2027 earnings release on November 11, 2026, and the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on December 1, 2026, as listed by MarketScreener.

Stock remains below its yearly high

KWS Saat's euro quote remains EUR 12.45 below its 52-week high of EUR 80.60 and EUR 6.05 above its 52-week low of EUR 62.10. The stock's market capitalization was EUR 2.3 billion as of October 20, 2026.
