Analyst projections of the future price of Krones AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Order intake rose 4.5% in the first half and book-to-bill was 1.05, lifting the backlog to €4.33 billion and supporting production utilisation through 2026. (Krones)
Despite cutting its sales forecast, Krones kept its 2026 EBITDA margin target at 10.7% to 11.1% and ROCE target at 19% to 20%; its adjusted nine-month EBITDA margin was 10.8%. (wallstreetONLINE)
Krones cut its 2026 revenue-growth forecast from 3%–5% to 1%–2% and lowered its 2028 revenue target from about €7 billion to €6.0–€6.2 billion, signalling weaker growth expectations. (wallstreetONLINE)
Rising energy and packaging-material costs are weighing on customers’ investment decisions; Krones’ chief executive told Reuters that higher costs for glass, aluminium and PET affect their readiness to invest. (Reuters)
Netstal is generating less order intake than Krones expected: management said the injection-moulding market is weaker than assumed and Swiss production faces a disadvantage serving North America against a Canadian rival. Krones said this creates a risk to its 2028 targets. (StockAnalysis)
