Berenberg keeps its EUR 82 target

According to finanzen.ch on September 30, 2026, Berenberg analyst Yasmin Steilen left the Buy rating unchanged and retained the EUR 82.00 target. The original study was published on September 29, 2026, and linked the assessment to JOST's position in the commercial vehicle supply chain and its discussions with Chinese truck manufacturers.

Against the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 62.75, the EUR 82.00 target stands 30.68 percent above the reference price. That gap is a market expectation, not a company forecast, while the target itself is stated in euros and can be compared directly with the German share price.

Revenue and adjusted EBIT accelerate

JOST's second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 12.70 percent to EUR 440.20 million, according to wallstreetONLINE in its September 15, 2026 report. Organic growth, adjusted for currency and acquisition effects, was 8.90 percent in the quarter.

Adjusted EBIT increased 18.50 percent to EUR 43.90 million, producing a 10.00 percent adjusted EBIT margin. The same report put second-quarter free cash flow at EUR 17.30 million and return on capital employed at 16.30 percent, showing that the Hyva integration is reaching profitability as well as sales.

Third-quarter report set for November 12

JOST's investor-relations calendar lists November 12, 2026, for the publication of its nine-month 2026 interim report. The company also states that its shares trade under ticker JST on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and that the stock has been part of the SDAX since its 2017 initial public offering, according to its JOST investor-relations page.

The next report will test whether the 10.00 percent adjusted EBIT margin can remain within management's stated 10.00 percent to 12.00 percent target corridor. For the market, the key tension is clear: Berenberg values the shares at EUR 82.00, while the live German quote remains 7.45 percent below its EUR 67.80 52-week high.

Stock stays below its yearly high

JOST Werke had a market capitalization of EUR 1.0 billion and a 52-week range of EUR 48.30 to EUR 67.80 as of October 6, 2026. The stock was trading at EUR 62.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 1:21 p.m. CEST, plus 3.46 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 60.65.
