Salzgitter stock was trading at EUR 51.05 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 11:10 a.m. CEST. The latest operating signal is an investment in heavy plate production for wind power, while second-quarter revenue fell 3.96 percent year over year.

Heavy plate expands energy reach

As Mining Metal News reported on September 23, 2026, Salzgitter commissioned a hot straightening machine at its Mülheim an der Ruhr plant.

The equipment enables Salzgitter Mannesmann Grobblech to process thick, high-strength plate for energy infrastructure, including potential offshore wind applications. The investment is the subsidiary's largest single investment in more than 20 years, giving the company a concrete capacity angle beyond near-term steel prices.

Revenue falls while EPS improves

In the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue was EUR 2.24 billion, compared with EUR 2.34 billion a year earlier, a decline of 3.96 percent, according to finanzen.ch on September 28, 2026.

EPS was EUR -0.75 in Q2 2026 versus EUR -1.02 in the prior-year quarter. The comparison points to a narrower per-share loss even as the revenue base contracted, making margins and steel pricing the key operating variables for the next report.

Salzgitter's investor-relations calendar lists the nine-month 2026 report for November 12, 2026, with a conference call at 10:00 a.m. CET, according to Salzgitter AG.

Jefferies sees EUR 66 target

finanzen.at reported on September 23, 2026, that Jefferies kept its Buy rating and EUR 66.00 price target for Salzgitter. The target lies 29.38 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 51.05, using the intraday reference price dated September 29, 2026.

That view depends on a recovery in European steel prices after consolidation in September and October, alongside potential margin expansion despite subdued demand. Salzgitter therefore combines a near-term earnings comparison with a capacity investment aimed at energy infrastructure.
