DEZ: Defense Robotics Partnership Will Drive Future Earnings Upside Despite Softer End Markets

Analysts have slightly raised their price target on DEUTZ, reflecting an updated fair value estimate of €10.44 from €10.36, as modestly stronger margin expectations and a marginally lower discount rate more than offset a tempering of long term growth and valuation multiples. What's in the News Refined 2025 guidance now calls for revenue of around €2.1 billion, at the lower end of the previous €2.1 billion to €2.3 billion range, as key end markets such as Construction Equipment and Agricultural Machinery remain weak (company guidance).

Analysts have nudged their price target for GEA Group up by €1 to €74, citing slightly stronger expectations for revenue growth and profit margins that more than offset a modest increase in the discount rate and a somewhat lower future P E multiple. What's in the News GEA Group confirmed earnings guidance for 2025, expecting organic revenue growth between 2.0% and 4.0% for the financial year (company guidance).

KGX: Rising Execution Risks Will Likely Cap Future Share Price Upside

Analysts have raised their price target on KION GROUP to approximately EUR 49.41 from about EUR 43.59, citing higher expectations for revenue growth, slightly stronger margins, and recent target increases from other firms. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on KION GROUP reflects a constructive but increasingly selective stance among market watchers, with rising price targets tempered by growing scrutiny of execution and valuation risks.

KRN: Sustained Order Momentum Will Drive Further Upside Potential

Analysts have slightly raised their price target on Krones to EUR 157 from EUR 152, citing expectations that the pick up in orders seen in Q3 will continue into Q4 and support sustained positive momentum. Analyst Commentary Bullish analysts interpret the higher price target as a sign that the market is underestimating Krones growth prospects, particularly given the visible acceleration in order intake from Q3 into Q4.

8TRA: Margin Discipline And Cash Generation Will Drive Medium Term Upside

Analysts have trimmed their price target on Traton to EUR 44.67 from EUR 46.87, reflecting more cautious expectations on valuation despite slightly stronger growth and margin assumptions, as recent Street research has converged around lower Neutral to Hold targets. Analyst Commentary Beneath the recent wave of target cuts and rating downgrades, bullish analysts still highlight a constructive medium term outlook for Traton, arguing that the current consolidation in estimates primarily reflects a reset in expectations rather than a deterioration in the company’s fundamental trajectory.

RAA: U.S. Market Share And Execution Will Shape Future Upside Potential

Analysts have raised their fair value estimate for RATIONAL from EUR 565 to EUR 590, citing the stock's historically low valuation, slightly higher expected revenue growth and potential for further U.S. market share gains. Analyst Commentary Recent research highlights a more constructive stance on RATIONAL, with some now arguing that the current share price does not fully reflect the company’s potential to gain additional market share in the U.S. Commercial kitchen modernization, together with a still underpenetrated customer base, is seen as a key driver of medium term growth.
