Krones AG (ISIN DE0006335003) traded at EUR 109.80 on Xetra on September 23, 2026, down 1.8 percent, as a new Bernstein assessment placed the stock near a EUR 111 price target.

Bernstein sees cautious growth

As Boersen-Zeitung reported on September 22, 2026, Bernstein Research initiated coverage with a Market-Perform rating and a EUR 111 price target.

The assessment matters because the target is only EUR 1.20 above the EUR 109.80 Xetra price cited on September 23, 2026. According to Investing.com on September 23, 2026, analyst Benjamin Thielmann described Krones revenue and order growth prospects for 2027 as subdued and questioned the company's revenue target for 2028.

The market range shows the pressure clearly: Krones reached a 52-week high of EUR 144.20 on February 19, 2026, while the 52-week low was EUR 105.80 on July 13, 2026. The EUR 109.80 level was therefore EUR 34.40 below the high and EUR 4.00 above the low. The stock was also down about 20 percent in 2026, as reported by IT Boltwise on September 23, 2026.
