Weir Group stock (ISIN GB0009633180) closed at GBX 2,630 on September 17, 2026, below its 200-day average of GBX 2,680.68. The move came as MarketBeat reported on September 17, 2026 that the stock passed below that level during trading.
Analysts still see upside
According to MarketBeat, Berenberg kept a buy rating and a GBX 3,650 price objective on August 5, 2026, while Deutsche Bank reissued buy with a GBX 3,230 target on July 30, 2026. The same report said JPMorgan lifted its target from GBX 3,500 to GBX 3,800 on June 24, 2026 and that the consensus target stands at GBX 3,408.33.
That leaves the shares about 29.5 percent below the JPMorgan target and about 23.8 percent below the broader consensus target, both measured against GBX 2,630. The gap gives the chart break more weight than the absolute move alone.

MarketBeat also said The Weir Group last issued earnings results on July 29, 2026, with EPS of GBX 54.60 for the quarter. It added a return on equity of 13.45 percent and a net margin of 9.97 percent, while analysts expect EPS of 136.0509554 for the current fiscal year.
