Price reflects the cautious tone

The current quote is 1.02 percent below the Xetra close, while Citi's EUR 15.00 target remains EUR 2.41 above the Lang & Schwarz price. That gap is a valuation reference, not a forecast, and the neutral rating keeps the analyst signal balanced against the improved second-quarter figures.
