Jefferies had already raised its target from EUR 45.00 to EUR 48.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on September 10, 2026. finanzen.net said the analyst linked the view to stronger first-half order intake and backlog, with faster growth expected in the second half of 2026 and in 2027.

Semiconductor growth supports guidance

Jenoptik's first-half 2026 revenue grew 1.00 percent year over year, according to the company's earnings-call transcript published by Yahoo Finance. Semiconductor and Advanced Manufacturing revenue increased 10.00 percent year over year, while Smart Mobility Solutions revenue rose 11.00 percent.

Management expects full-year 2026 revenue growth of 5.00 percent to 9.00 percent and an EBITDA margin of 20.00 percent to 21.00 percent. The guidance places the semiconductor business at the center of the growth case, while automotive-related activities remain a counter-factor in the company's Mobility business.

Next report arrives November 10

Jenoptik's investor calendar lists the quarterly statement for January through September 2026 on November 10, 2026, following the first-half report of August 12, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page. That report will test whether the order momentum cited by Jefferies is translating into the guided second-half acceleration.
