Danone stock (ISIN FR0000120644) rose to EUR 60.56 in early trading on September 22, 2026, after Deutsche Bank upgraded its rating from Sell to Hold. The bank kept its EUR 61.00 price target, while the shares remained close to their 52-week low.

Deutsche Bank changes its rating

According to Investing.com on September 22, 2026, Deutsche Bank moved Danone from Sell to Hold and retained a EUR 61.00 price target. The unchanged target was only EUR 0.74 above the early trading price of EUR 60.26 cited for the previous close.

The change was linked to valuation and recent earnings trends, while weakness in Danone's United States business remained a stated counter-factor, according to Investing.com on September 22, 2026. The rating improvement therefore changed the recommendation without raising the bank's valuation benchmark.

Stock remains near yearly low

Danone closed at EUR 60.26 on Euronext Paris on September 21, 2026, down 0.46 percent from the prior close, with 853,661 shares traded. The price was EUR 0.24 above the 52-week low of EUR 60.02 and EUR 19.88 below the 52-week high of EUR 80.14.

Market capitalization stood at EUR 44.66 billion as of September 21, 2026. The same session saw the CAC 40 rise 0.20 percent to 8,154.91 points, creating a clear contrast between the broad French benchmark and Danone's 0.46 percent decline.

Analyst consensus sets wider range

The broader analyst picture is less concentrated than Deutsche Bank's EUR 61.00 target. Investing.com lists 22 analysts with an average 12-month target of EUR 79.93, a high estimate of EUR 95.00 and a low estimate of EUR 61.00 as of September 22, 2026.

That average target is EUR 19.03 above the September 21 closing price, while the low estimate is EUR 0.74 higher. The spread between the EUR 61.00 low and EUR 95.00 high shows that valuation views remain materially divided even after the rating change.
