Soitec stock (ISIN FR0013227113) climbed to EUR 141.50 on Euronext Paris on September 16, 2026, after JPMorgan raised its rating to Overweight from Neutral and doubled its target to EUR 200 from EUR 98.

JPMorgan resets the case

According to Reuters on September 16, 2026, JPMorgan moved Soitec to Overweight from Neutral and lifted the price target to EUR 200 from EUR 98. The same Reuters report showed the shares at EUR 141.50, up 15.04 percent, on Euronext Paris.

That move matters because the new target is 62.6 percent above the cited closing price of EUR 123.00 on the previous session used in market coverage, while the JPMorgan call also put fresh attention on the photonics business.

Consensus still trails

On September 16, 2026, MarketScreener showed 19 analysts on Soitec, an average target price of EUR 148.32 and a mean consensus of Outperform. Its quote table also listed a Tradegate price of EUR 136.05, up 10.48 percent, at 11:19:34 on September 16, 2026.

The same page put the 1st Jan change at +435.85 percent and the 5-day change at -14.29 percent, a reminder that the stock has already absorbed a very large move even before JPMorgan's latest call.

Trading at a higher bar

For investors, the gap between EUR 141.50, the EUR 148.32 consensus target and JPMorgan's EUR 200 view is now the key setup. Soitec's next earnings release is listed for November 11, 2026 on MarketScreener, and the market will test whether photonics can justify the higher valuation.
