Dürr stock was trading at EUR 16.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 10:09 a.m. CEST, down 2.07 percent from the prior close of EUR 16.90. On September 24, 2026, DZ Bank cut its fair value for Dürr from EUR 22.00 to EUR 18.00 and kept its Hold rating, as Deutsche Börse reported.

DZ Bank narrows the valuation case

The new EUR 18.00 fair value stands 8.06 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 16.55 on October 1, 2026. DZ Bank analyst Holger Schmidt said the valuation discount alone was insufficient for a recovery and called for more dynamic fundamentals, according to Deutsche Börse.

Second-quarter margins show resilience

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue fell 2.00 percent year over year to EUR 981.00 million, while EBIT before special items edged up to EUR 41.90 million from EUR 41.80 million. The operating margin therefore improved to 4.30 percent from 4.20 percent, according to Plusvisionen.

The pressure remains concentrated at BBS Automation. Dürr planned an efficiency program involving about 500 positions worldwide, while management confirmed its 2026 outlook because other business units were expected to offset the weakness, Plusvisionen reported on September 16, 2026.

November results set the next test

The next quarterly results are scheduled for November 12, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations calendar. Dürr has also scheduled its Capital Markets Day for December 9 and 10, 2026, giving investors two dated checkpoints for the restructuring plan and the 2026 outlook, as Dürr states.

Stock trades below the revised target

At EUR 16.55, the Lang & Schwarz quote on October 1, 2026 at 10:09 a.m. CEST was EUR 0.35 below the prior close of EUR 16.90, a minus 2.07 percent daily change. The immediate investor calculation is straightforward: the revised EUR 18.00 target leaves an 8.06 percent gap above the current euro quote, while the second-quarter margin improved despite lower revenue. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Dürr stock.
