Target cut meets earnings test
The revised target puts the next results in sharper focus because Deutsche Bank cited weak demand in China, US tariffs and higher production costs as pressures on Rational. The company reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 323.90 million and net profit of EUR 73.10 million, compared with EUR 310.95 million and EUR 63.38 million in the prior-year quarter, according to Markets Insider.
Three dates frame the stock
On June 30, 2026, Rational's quarterly revenue reached EUR 323.90 million, up from EUR 310.95 million in the comparable period, as reported by Markets Insider. On October 9, 2026, RBC upgraded Rational from Sector Perform to Outperform and raised its target from EUR 680.00 to EUR 700.00, according to Yahoo Finance.

What will November 5 show?
Rational is scheduled to publish its first nine-month results on November 5, 2026, with the release planned for 7:00 a.m. and a conference call at 3:00 p.m., according to Boerse Express. The figures will offer a direct test of whether the China, tariff and cost concerns translated into weaker profitability after the second quarter's EUR 73.10 million net profit.
Stock trades below the latest Xetra close
Rational's current quotation leaves the stock EUR 5.00 below the Xetra close used for the daily comparison. The combination of a lower Deutsche Bank target and stronger second-quarter revenue makes the November report the next concrete point for judging demand and margin resilience.
