Drägerwerk

The Drägerwerk preferred share is trading near its yearly high and sits well above the medium-term upward trend channel; the RSI signals slight overbought conditions. Fundamentally, the company is supported by two recent price-target increases, and a further raise was discussed internally. However, after a year-to-date gain of almost 70%, the stock would be vulnerable to a market correction or profit-taking. Technically, the medium-term trend currently runs roughly around €102 on the upside and around €83 on the downside. » More on finanzen.net

Drägerwerk has upgraded its full-year targets again in mid and late July, mainly thanks to customs refunds totaling around €22 million. The 2026 EBIT margin is now expected at 6–8% (previously 5.5–7.5%), while revenue growth remains unchanged at 1–5% (currency-adjusted 2–6%). In the first half, currency-adjusted revenue rose 7.7% to €1,603.2 million and EBIT increased to €63.8 million. Investors are speculating, due to the strong H1 figures, about a further target increase ahead of the Q3 results; the editorial team says the stock should be on the watchlist. » More on finanzen.net
