Second-quarter results beat estimates

Revenue increased 8.50 percent from USD 1.89 billion in the same quarter of 2025, while earnings per share reached USD 0.86 against a USD 0.83 consensus estimate.

Analyst view meets valuation data

MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy consensus from eight brokerages on September 30, 2026, with five Buy ratings and three Holds. The average 12-month price target was USD 96.14, while the same source cited a USD 29.7 billion market capitalization and a 52-week range of USD 68.07 to USD 100.96.

The company also set fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance at USD 3.57, while analysts expected USD 3.39 for the year, according to MarketBeat. The contrast between the USD 96.14 consensus target and the latest euro quote places analyst expectations alongside a stock trading near the lower end of its reported annual range, although the currencies are not directly comparable.
