Three dates frame the update

The company picture has three measurable steps. On August 5, 2026, first-half revenue reached EUR 3.033 billion, while adjusted operating profit was EUR 893 million and the adjusted operating margin rose to 29.40 percent, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. On October 19, 2026, JPMorgan Research raised its price target from EUR 87.00 to EUR 100.00 while retaining its Overweight rating, as reported by De Aandeelhouder. The October 22, 2026 buyback report is the latest step.

What does cash flow say?

First-half adjusted free cash flow was EUR 533 million, up 14 percent in constant currencies, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. Management said favorable working-capital movements were expected to reverse in coming quarters, while full-year adjusted operating margin guidance remained around 28 percent. That sets a clear test for the second half: product development spending was expected to rise from 11 percent of revenue in the first half toward 12 percent to 13 percent for the year.

Stock valuation stays in view

The analyst debate centers on whether artificial intelligence can support renewals, pricing and additional workflow sales as investment rises. JPMorgan expects third-quarter organic growth of 5.60 percent, compared with 5.00 percent in the first half, and raised its 2026 adjusted earnings-per-share estimate to EUR 5.67, according to De Aandeelhouder. Bernstein maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 100.00 target in its October 2026 report, according to The Globe and Mail. The competing signals are visible in the numbers: strong cash generation and margin expansion on one side, heavier product investment on the other.
