Aéroports de Paris

Aéroports de Paris shares rose about 2.3% to €115.05 after Deutsche Bank upgraded them from “hold” to “buy” and set a new price target of €130. The bank cites clearer regulatory frameworks for 2027–2034 that allow higher airport fees and provide long‑term investment security. It also points to strong half‑year results, including net profit surging to €312 million, which supports the upward outlook. The stock is now notably closer to its 52‑week high of €133.90 and reflects company‑specific news rather than broader market movements. » More on de.investing.com

Aeroports de Paris reported adjusted EBITDA of €1.015bn in the first half, beating the analysts’ consensus of around €967m, and net profit tripled year-on-year.

The dividend policy — a 60% payout ratio with a floor of €3 per share — remains in place, and cost savings of €40–60m are expected to take effect mainly in the second half.
