NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - The analyst firm Jefferies raised its price target for Kion shares from €51 to €57, but downgraded the stock from "Buy" to "Hold" following its recovery rally.

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - US analyst firm Bernstein Research lowered its price target for Kion from €51 to €49, but maintained its "Outperform" rating.

Barclays lowers target for Kion to 46 euros - 'Overweight'
LONDON (dpa-AFX Analyst) - British investment bank Barclays has lowered its price target for Kion from €52 to €46, but maintained its rating at "Overweight." In a "Tariffs 3.0" world, corporate profits are far from "liberalized," wrote analyst Vladimir Sergievskiy in his reassessment of the European capital goods sector published on Friday. Early-cycle companies will feel the pain first, although, unlike in previous downturns, a V-shaped recovery is unlikely. The order backlog is still protecting the late-cycle companies for the time being. However, the order situation will tip due to postponed investments. Sergievskiy cut his earnings estimates through 2026 by an average of 7 percent./ag/mis

NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Research firm Jefferies has maintained a "Buy" rating on Kion with a price target of €51.

Bernstein lowers target for Kion to 50 euros - 'Outperform'
NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Bernstein Research has lowered its price target for Kion from €53 to €50 and maintained its rating at "Outperform." Analyst Philippe Lorrain wrote in a report released Wednesday evening that the share price's rollercoaster ride following the company's financial results and the introduction of an efficiency program was exaggerated. Although he currently views the warehouse and logistics equipment supplier's plans with some caution, the implementation should support the profitability of the Industrial Trucks & Services (IT&S) division in the future and make it more resilient. He lowered the price target primarily because he pushed the valuation period further into the future and also due to increased capital costs./ck/he

Deutsche Bank Research lowers target for Kion to 50 euros - 'Buy'
FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Analyst) - Deutsche Bank Research lowered its price target for Kion from €55 to €50, but maintained its "Buy" rating. The European capital goods industry remains in a downturn, with structural competitive problems in Germany and tighter fiscal plans in France, analyst Gael de-Bray wrote in an industry report released Monday. This makes it difficult to invest in more cyclical sector companies. Furthermore, the threat of tariff barriers from the incoming US administration is a factor of uncertainty. On the positive side, the ECB is likely to accelerate its interest rate cut cycle, which should lead to more attractive financing conditions for investment-intensive segments./edh/tih
