MLP SE (ISIN DE0006569908) was trading at EUR 10.32 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 11:51 a.m. CEST, up 1.88 percent versus the prior close of EUR 10.13. On October 2, 2026, EQS News reported that MLP raised its fiscal 2026 EBIT forecast from EUR 100.00-110.00 million to EUR 110.00-120.00 million.

Higher fees lift the forecast

The company expects EBIT in the third quarter of 2026 to exceed the EUR 18.30 million reported for the third quarter of 2025. Performance-based compensation generated a sales revenue effect of EUR 21.00 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 2.80 million in the same period of 2025, according to the October 2 announcement.

MLP linked the stronger outlook to higher performance-based compensation in wealth management, increased assets under management and interest effects. The comparison between the old and new forecast shows a EUR 10.00 million increase at both ends of the range, giving investors a clearer earnings benchmark before the full quarterly figures arrive.

Analysts raise their targets

Aktiencheck reported on October 5, 2026 that Berenberg raised its target for MLP from EUR 13.00 to EUR 15.00 while keeping a Buy rating. The report identified higher performance-based fees and potential pension-reform effects as reasons for the revised view.

NuWays also rated MLP Buy on October 5, 2026 and lifted its target from EUR 12.00 to EUR 14.00, according to Deutsche Boerse. NuWays expects the revised guidance to leave room for a potential earnings beat, while its research cites EUR 21.00 million of performance-based compensation in the third quarter of 2026 after EUR 2.80 million a year earlier.

November results set the next test

MLP plans to publish final figures for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 on November 12, 2026. That report will show whether the higher fees translated into broader earnings growth and whether the new EUR 110.00-120.00 million EBIT range remains achievable through the final quarter.
