Nexans

JPMorgan upgraded Nexans from "Neutral" to "Overweight" and raised the price target from 160 to 183 EUR, after which the share rose 3.4% to 137.4 EUR. The bank justifies the re-rating with the completed portfolio transformation toward the electrification business and sees strong earnings growth potential at a reasonable valuation. JPMorgan points to raised 2026 forecasts, improved free cash flow and mid‑term targets for 2028, and cites add‑on acquisitions like Republic Wire as an additional driver. » Mere på de.investing.com

For H1 2026 Nexans reported revenue of €3.249 billion (+5.0%) and adjusted EBITDA of €387.7 million (margin 11.9%), both beating analyst expectations. The company raised its 2026 EBITDA guidance to €770–840 million and its free cash flow outlook to €235–325 million. A new order for MI conductors secures production utilization until mid‑2028, and the acquisition of Republic Wire strengthens its North American presence. The stock rose about 5.9% intraday to €132.4. » Mere på de.investing.com
