- Jefferies expects a solid third quarter and improving execution in SMA Solar's Large Scale segment.
- Order intake, project delivery and profitability will shape the next assessment of the investment case.
- The company is scheduled to publish its third-quarter report on November 11, 2026.
Jefferies has raised its price target for SMA Solar Technology from EUR 89 to EUR 90 and maintained its Buy rating. The research firm expects a solid third quarter, but the upcoming report will test whether stronger activity is translating into sustainable profitability.
MarketScreener reported on October 13 that Jefferies analyst Constantin Hesse sees improving execution in SMA Solar's Large Scale segment and continued favorable order intake. Hesse also expects the market to anticipate strong revenue growth because of project timing and a lower order backlog, while viewing consensus profitability expectations as too conservative. The report was distributed by dpa-AFX and published by MarketScreener.
Profitability remains the focus
The analyst view places less emphasis on revenue momentum alone and more on the quality of project conversion. Investors will be watching whether improved execution in the Large Scale business supports sustainable margins rather than a temporary increase in recognized sales.
SMA Solar stock traded at 55.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:06 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, 9.22 percent above the Xetra close of Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The real-time quote of SMA Solar stock provides the current trading reference.
The next operating checkpoint is the third-quarter report. MarketScreener's calendar lists the earnings release for November 11, 2026, when investors can assess order intake, Large Scale project execution and profitability against the constructive analyst view.
