Airbus (ISIN NL0000235190) was trading at EUR 190.57 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 4:14 p.m. CEST, up 2.30 percent from the prior close of EUR 186.29. On October 2, 2026, Reuters reported that Airbus delivered as many as 72 aircraft in September, while the company stock gained 2.30 percent in the Lang & Schwarz quote.

September output reached 72 aircraft

The provisional September total compares with 73 aircraft a year earlier, leaving Airbus one aircraft below the prior-year figure. Reuters said the tally exceeded estimates from tracked deliveries in the mid to high 60s, while Jefferies had estimated 68 aircraft.

The delivery pace matters because 20 aircraft had shifted from the third quarter into the fourth quarter amid delays, according to Reuters. Airbus still needs to execute a record fourth quarter to meet its 2026 target of 870 commercial aircraft.

Guidance depends on second-half execution

Airbus said in its 2026 guidance that it targets 870 commercial aircraft deliveries, adjusted EBIT of EUR 7.5 billion and free cash flow before customer financing of EUR 4.5 billion. The company also reported adjusted EBIT of EUR 2.7 billion and free cash flow before customer financing of minus EUR 1.2 billion for the first half of 2026, according to Airbus.

The main counter-factor remains industrial execution. Reuters reported that Airbus is managing A321neo parts issues, engine shortages and additional A330 inspections, while the company has said aircraft currently leaving production have been inspected and can be delivered.

Jefferies keeps a EUR 200 target

On September 25, 2026, finanzen.ch reported that Jefferies kept Airbus at Hold with a EUR 200.00 price target. The target lies 4.95 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 190.57, using the same euro currency; Jefferies said the A321neo issue was not a safety problem and expected a limited effect on 2026 deliveries.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Airbus had a market capitalization of EUR 150.9 billion as of October 2, 2026. Its primary-market 52-week range was EUR 157.42 to EUR 221.30, placing the Lang & Schwarz price 13.88 percent below the yearly high.

Airbus is scheduled to release its nine-month 2026 results on October 28, 2026, with the analyst call at 7:30 p.m. CET, according to the Airbus financial-results calendar. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Airbus stock.
