KWS SAAT

Baader Bank has raised its target price for KWS Saat from 78 to 85 euros and kept the rating at 'Add'. As a new competitor, Vylor, a spin-off of Corteva, could become the strongest challenger in the fourth quarter of 2026. Greater transparency about competitors' seed activities is likely to increase KWS's value. » More on finanzen.net

The EU Parliament did not push through a previously discussed patent ban for genetically modified seed, which protects KWS Saat’s international patents. Investors view this as a positive mid-term impulse, while higher seed prices could result from licensing fees for patent holders. The KWS share has been under pressure since May and is trading at a technical support level near €66. » More on finanzen.net

KWS reports stable sales and disproportionate EBIT growth in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025/26; the annual targets remain confirmed. The stock has corrected about 10% from its yearly high, and the level around €72 is considered the decisive technical support. Rain forecasts for the US Midwest recently pushed down agricultural commodity prices and could put pressure on demand. Thanks to earlier portfolio transactions, KWS sees itself well positioned for further growth; a sustained break below the €72 level would darken the technical outlook. » More on finanzen.net
