Jenoptik stock rises on a 48 euro Jefferies target

Jenoptik stock (ISIN DE0006229107) rose after Jefferies lifted its target to EUR 48 and kept a Buy rating, while the shares closed at EUR 39.54 on Xetra on September 18, 2026, up 0.66 percent on the day.

Jefferies sets the pace

According to Investing.com on September 21, 2026, Jefferies raised Jenoptik's price target from EUR 45 to EUR 48 and confirmed Buy. The same report said the average analyst target stands at EUR 47.19 and that 8 houses rate the stock Buy or Hold, with no Sell ratings.

The report also said Jenoptik confirmed its 2026 guidance on September 19, 2026 and pointed to revenue growth of 5 percent to 9 percent, with the upper end now in sight. It added an order backlog of about EUR 820 million and a British Columbia camera contract worth CAD 67 million, two figures that explain why the market is still willing to pay up for the name.

Revenue and backlog

On September 21, 2026, the same Investing.com report cited Jenoptik's first-half 2026 order intake as the core reason behind Jefferies' move. It also linked the stock's rally to the combination of a EUR 820 million backlog and the confirmed 5 percent to 9 percent revenue-growth outlook for 2026.

For investors, the comparison matters: the Jefferies target of EUR 48 sits EUR 8.46 above the Xetra close of EUR 39.54 on September 18, 2026, a gap of 21.4 percent. The 52-week range quoted in the same report ran from EUR 16.92 to EUR 48.42, so the stock was already trading close to its yearly ceiling.
