Hochtief stock gains as 2026 profit target rises

Hochtief AG stock reached EUR 401.00 in Xetra trading at 9:28 a.m. on September 22, 2026, up 0.3 percent from the opening price of EUR 402.60 and below the intraday high of EUR 403.00. The move followed a reported increase in the company's 2026 profit target.

Profit target rises for 2026

According to Boerse Express on September 22, 2026, Hochtief raised its profit target for fiscal year 2026. The same report states that the shares closed at EUR 399.00 on September 21, 2026, leaving the stock up 19 percent since the start of 2026.

The comparison between the September 21 closing price and the September 22 intraday quote shows the market holding above EUR 399.00 while the target revision supplied the central operating signal. The target increase matters because it links the share performance to an updated earnings expectation rather than to price movement alone.

Xetra trading remains active

At 9:28 a.m. on September 22, 2026, Hochtief stock traded at EUR 401.00 after opening at EUR 402.60. The intraday high was EUR 403.00, while reported trading volume had reached 2,106 shares at that point.

The 19 percent year-to-date gain cited for September 21, 2026, provides the broader market comparison. Against that reference, the 0.3 percent intraday increase reported on September 22 represented a smaller daily move while keeping the stock close to the EUR 400 level.

Stock holds above EUR 399

Hochtief stock closed at EUR 399.00 on September 21, 2026, according to Boerse Express. The September 22 Xetra quote of EUR 401.00 was EUR 2.00 higher than that close, while the intraday high reached EUR 403.00.

For investors, the key calculation is the combination of a 19 percent year-to-date increase and a higher 2026 profit target. The next valuation debate therefore depends on whether the raised earnings objective can support prices around EUR 400.
