- UBS set a DKK 265 target on October 13, 2026, up from DKK 260.
- Second-quarter revenue reached EUR 1.01 billion, a 10 percent increase from the prior year.
- Rockwool is scheduled to report its next earnings on November 25, 2026.
Rockwool stock (ISIN DK0063855168) has a higher DKK 265 price target after UBS raised its previous DKK 260 target on October 13, 2026, while keeping its Buy rating, according to MarketScreener. The revision puts analyst valuation back at the center of the Rockwool story after a strong second quarter and a higher full-year growth outlook.
Target rises as growth improves
The operating backdrop strengthened in the second quarter of 2026. Revenue reached EUR 1.01 billion, up 10 percent from the same period a year earlier, while earnings per share fell to EUR 0.40 from EUR 0.60, according to Simply Wall St. The contrast matters: stronger demand lifted sales, but profitability remained under pressure.
Rockwool also raised its 2026 revenue-growth outlook to 5 percent to 7 percent from 3 percent to 6 percent, while maintaining a 13 percent to 14 percent EBIT margin range, according to the same report. The company cited volume growth and price increases, while sourcing limits in North America remained a constraint.
Three dates frame the story
On February 4, 2026, Rockwool reported 2025 revenue of EUR 3.877 billion and guided for 2 percent to 4 percent revenue growth in 2026, according to the company investor-relations page. On August 19, 2026, second-quarter revenue reached EUR 1.01 billion and adjusted earnings per share came to EUR 0.40, according to Simply Wall St. On October 13, 2026, UBS lifted its target from DKK 260 to DKK 265, as reported by MarketScreener.
What does the target mean?
The DKK 5 increase in UBS's target is modest beside the change in revenue guidance, but it shows that the stronger sales trajectory is entering valuation models. The 13 percent to 14 percent EBIT margin range remains the key test because second-quarter earnings per share declined despite the 10 percent revenue increase.
Next report sets the test
Rockwool is scheduled to publish its next earnings report on November 25, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That update should show whether the 5 percent to 7 percent revenue outlook is translating into stable margins as investment and sourcing demands remain elevated.
Stock context and investor view
The latest company figures leave Rockwool with two competing signals: revenue growth accelerated to 10 percent in the second quarter, while earnings per share declined by EUR 0.20 year over year. The next report therefore matters less for another sales increase than for evidence that the 13 percent to 14 percent EBIT margin range is holding.
