FASTNED B.V.

Increased utilization of existing charging stations is generating sufficient cash flow at Fastned, so network expansion can increasingly be co-financed from its own resources.

The Fastned share rose on Euronext by around 9–10% to roughly €41.15–€41.75 and has thus doubled in 2026. Analyst Thijs Berkelder (ABN Amro / Oddo‑BHF partner) raises the price target to €60 and sees further upside potential back to 2021 levels. Berkelder expects 70–100 new rapid-charging stations by the end of 2026 and plans the launch of a large station in London in 2027, which is why he calls the stock a "must have" for long-term investors. » Mere på finanzen.net
