Vestas Wind stock (ISIN DK0061539921) was covered by Finanznachrichten on October 9, 2026, after Jefferies cut its target from DKK 255 to DKK 252 and kept a Buy rating. The last Xetra close was EUR 25.18 on October 16, 2026.
Quarterly progress is visible
Vestas reported EUR 4.7 billion revenue and a 9.40 percent EBIT margin before special items for the second quarter of 2026. In the first quarter, revenue was EUR 4.0 billion and the comparable margin was 3.20 percent. The change gives investors a concrete measure of the company's operating improvement.
The company also reported EUR 3.4 billion of second-quarter order intake and a combined order backlog of EUR 76.9 billion. The backlog figure is substantially larger than quarterly revenue, reflecting the long project cycles of wind-turbine manufacturing and service contracts.
What does the target cut change?
Jefferies' DKK 3 target reduction points to a more cautious valuation despite the unchanged Buy rating. The analyst cited weaker third-quarter order intake and additional offshore costs, while seeing a better starting position for the fourth quarter, according to Finanznachrichten.
Three dates frame the story
Vestas reported first-quarter revenue of EUR 4.0 billion and a 3.20 percent EBIT margin on May 6, 2026. It reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 4.7 billion and a 9.40 percent margin on August 12, 2026. Jefferies then cut its target to DKK 252 on October 9, 2026.
Upcoming reporting date
The next substantiated company date is the third-quarter earnings release on November 10, 2026, listed by MarketScreener.
