Airbus Group ADR

Airbus delivered about 90 aircraft in June according to preliminary data, bringing first-half 2026 deliveries to roughly 350 units, up from 306 a year earlier. The company is working on increasing production despite ongoing supply-chain issues, but warned that final figures could still change. For 2026 Airbus has set an annual target of 870 deliveries; that would require roughly 520 more handovers by year-end. Production of the A320 family is running behind the targeted 75 aircraft per month because shortages of parts and engines are hampering ramp-up efforts. » More on de.investing.com

Airbus shares rose to around €198.40, supported by positive assessments from MWB (buy recommendation) and Bank of America, which names Airbus as a quarter idea for Q3. MWB points to possible record deliveries in June and raises its 2026 forecast to 870 jets. BofA expects the interim report on July 21 to become a share-price driver by setting medium-term targets for the commercial aircraft division and sees an adjusted operating result on the order of €10 billion as a realistic prospect. Analysts’ views are intended to shift investor focus from short-term metrics to clearer medium-term earnings potential. » More on finanzen.net
