Jenoptik stock targets EUR 48 as guidance holds

Jenoptik stock (ISIN DE0006229107) closed at EUR 39.54 on Xetra on September 18, 2026, gaining 0.66 percent. The immediate catalyst was a higher Jefferies price target, while the company maintained its 2026 revenue-growth guidance of 5 percent to 9 percent.

Jefferies lifts target to EUR 48

According to Ad hoc News on September 21, 2026, Jefferies raised its Jenoptik price target from EUR 45 to EUR 48 and kept a Buy rating. The EUR 3 increase represents a 6.7 percent rise in the target, and the new target was EUR 8.46 above the September 18 Xetra close, a gap of 21.4 percent.

The broader analyst picture cited in the same report showed an average target of EUR 47.19, with eight houses rated Buy or Hold and no Sell ratings. That comparison places the Jefferies target EUR 0.81 above the reported average, making the revised target positive but not an outlier.

Growth guidance and backlog matter

The company confirmed 2026 revenue-growth guidance of 5 percent to 9 percent on September 19, 2026, according to Ad hoc News. The report said the upper end of that range was in sight, but the guidance remains a range rather than a completed result.

Jenoptik also carried an order backlog of about EUR 820 million, while a British Columbia camera contract was valued at CAD 67 million, figures reported on September 21, 2026. The backlog provides a measurable order base, whereas the contract value shows the scale of one disclosed project; neither figure by itself determines the timing of revenue recognition.

Stock remains near yearly ceiling

The September 18 market snapshot placed the 52-week range between EUR 16.92 and EUR 48.42. At EUR 39.54, the stock was EUR 8.88 below the yearly high and EUR 22.62 above the yearly low, so the quotation remained much closer to the upper end than to the lower end.

Trading volume was about 193,832 shares on Xetra on September 18, 2026, and market capitalization was EUR 2.34 billion as of that date. The price therefore combines a valuation near the reported yearly ceiling with a guidance range that still requires delivery through the remainder of fiscal year 2026.
