Analyst Commentary Bullish analysts note that the recent reduction in price targets largely reflects a recalibration of medium term expectations rather than a fundamental shift in the company’s long term earnings power.

IFX: Data Center Power Partnerships Will Drive Long-Term Share Momentum

Analysts have nudged their fair value estimate for Infineon Technologies slightly higher, lifting the price target by about EUR 1 to reflect modestly improved growth and margin assumptions, supported by recent target increases from the Street and growing optimism around long term demand drivers. Analyst Commentary Bullish analysts highlight that recent target increases to the low 40s in euro terms signal confidence that Infineon can defend and gradually expand margins, even as the broader European hardware space faces mixed sentiment.

LHA: Mixed Ratings Will Shape Recovery Outlook Amid Delayed Widebody Deliveries

The analyst price target for Deutsche Lufthansa has been modestly raised to EUR 7.89 from EUR 7.50 as analysts factor in slightly lower perceived risk and improving profit margins, even as they moderate long term growth and valuation assumptions in light of mixed recent research views. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Deutsche Lufthansa highlights a mixed backdrop, with modest upward adjustments to some price targets offset by more cautious ratings and valuation resets.

SAP: Cloud Conversion And BlackLine M&A Optionality Will Drive Future Upside
