Warburg sees EUR 131.00 target

Warburg Research analyst Sebastian Ubert maintained the Buy rating and set the EUR 131.00 target in a report dated September 30, 2026, as Business Insider reported. The same report cited a EUR 125.00 target from Berenberg and a Neutral rating from JPMorgan with a EUR 108.00 target, creating a wide range of views around the October reporting date.

The next quantified test arrives on October 29, 2026, when Knorr-Bremse has scheduled its third-quarter financial results, according to the company's Investor Relations calendar. JPMorgan's cited analysis expects no major surprise from that report and keeps a EUR 108.00 target, according to Finanznachrichten on September 28, 2026.

Second-quarter figures set the baseline

Knorr-Bremse reported EUR 2.16 billion in revenue and EUR 173.00 million in net profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with EUR 2.00 billion and EUR 140.00 million in the prior-year comparison. That represents revenue growth of 8.00 percent and net profit growth of 23.57 percent, figures cited by Business Insider.

The company also lists second-quarter 2026 operating EBIT of EUR 305.00 million and free cash flow of EUR 294.00 million on its investor-relations page dated July 29, 2026, providing a stronger operating reference than revenue alone. Knorr-Bremse's China rail partnership adds a longer-term growth angle: its official September 15, 2026 release describes potential global annual rail-freight revenue exceeding EUR 1 billion and cooperation covering digital train architecture, driver assistance and advanced braking systems, according to the Knorr-Bremse newsroom.
