Three dated signals for Krones

The stock story has shifted through three measurable steps. Simply Wall St reported on March 23, 2026 that fiscal-year 2025 revenue reached EUR 5.91 billion and net income EUR 298.70 million. On July 30, 2026, second-quarter revenue was EUR 1.34 billion, up 1.10 percent from the second quarter of 2025, while earnings per share rose to EUR 2.23 from EUR 2.21, according to Simply Wall St. The October 14 target reduction is the latest of the three dated signals.

What does the target spread signal?

The analyst picture is divided by EUR 47.00. MPCM's new EUR 177.00 target is EUR 47.00 above the EUR 130.00 target that LBBW set on October 9, 2026, according to Goldesel. Both institutions retained positive ratings, but the 26.56 percent gap between the two targets shows how differently analysts assess Krones' growth and valuation.

Two dates set the next test

Krones is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on November 6, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The BrauBeviale trade show is scheduled for November 10, 2026 through November 12, 2026, with Krones presenting solutions for beverage production, as reported by Boerse Global.

Trading remains below the yearly high

Krones has a market capitalization of EUR 3.4 billion, while its 52-week range spans EUR 103.20 to EUR 144.20 as of October 15, 2026. The current quote is therefore EUR 35.90 below the yearly high, a distance of 24.93 percent, leaving the November results as the next quantified test of whether recent earnings growth can support the wider target range.

Krones was trading at EUR 108.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 11:16 a.m. CEST, down 0.28 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 108.60. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Krones stock.
