Dürr stock gained 1.31 percent as DZ Bank cut fair value

Dürr stock (ISIN DE0005565204) gained 1.31 percent on September 28, 2026, and was last at EUR 16.96 on Xetra at 5:35 p.m. CEST. The move followed a difficult month for the machinery group, with DZ Bank cutting its fair value while keeping a Hold rating.

DZ Bank lowers fair value

According to Investing.com on September 24, 2026, DZ Bank reduced its fair value for Dürr from EUR 22.00 to EUR 18.00 and retained its Hold recommendation. The bank linked a potential recovery to more dynamic fundamental data, making execution at BBS Automation the central test for the investment case.

The new fair value is EUR 1.04 above the September 28 price, equivalent to 6.13 percent. That spread is materially smaller than the previous valuation gap, so the analyst update points to limited near-term re-rating potential unless operating figures improve.

Q2 margin edges higher

Plusvisionen reported that second-quarter revenue was EUR 981 million, down 2.00 percent from the prior-year quarter. EBIT before special items increased from EUR 41.8 million to EUR 41.9 million, while the operating margin improved from 4.20 percent to 4.30 percent.

The comparison shows why the stock can stabilize even as sales remain below the prior-year level: a EUR 0.1 million increase in operating EBIT and a 0.10 percentage-point margin improvement indicate that cost measures and business mix partly offset weaker demand. The counter-factor is BBS Automation, where restructuring and goodwill impairment weigh on reported earnings.

Guidance and December event

In the Q2 2026 earnings call, Yahoo Finance reported that group order intake rose 13.00 percent in the quarter and that Dürr confirmed all key points of its 2026 group guidance. Management also outlined extraordinary effects of EUR 140 million to EUR 150 million related to BBS Automation, including a goodwill impairment of EUR 90 million to EUR 100 million.

Dürr's investor-relations page lists its Capital Markets Day for December 9 and 10, 2026, in Bietigheim-Bissingen, giving investors a scheduled point for further detail on the efficiency program and medium-term margins. The event is especially relevant because management targets an 8.00 percent group margin before extraordinary items over the cycle.
