AUTO1 Group at a Crossroads: Goldman Sachs Backs 35?Euro Target Ahead of Key Capital Market Day
Veröffentlicht: 15.06.2026 um 17:05 Uhr, Redaktion boerse-global.de
The week ahead promises to be a defining one for AUTO1 Group, with the online used?car platform set to host a virtual capital market day on Wednesday, 17 June. The event comes at a moment of feverish investor interest: the stock surged 7.23% on Monday to close at €24.92, capping a 30?day rally of nearly 29%. The pressure is now squarely on the management team to deliver concrete profit?ability targets and detailed segment data that can justify the recent euphoria.
Goldman Sachs has thrown its weight behind the stock ahead of the showcase. The investment bank reiterated its “Buy” rating and confirmed a price target of €35.00, roughly 40% above the current level. Analyst James Tate cited the upcoming capital market day as a potential catalyst, expecting fresh insight into the long?term margin ambitions of the B2C brand Autohero and the B2B merchant business. The positive commentary helped propel Monday’s advance, building on a strong run that saw the shares climb almost 20% in the prior 30 days before an additional leg higher this week.
What the management will lay out
CEO Christian Bertermann and CFO Christian Wallentin are scheduled to present what the company describes as a first?time breakdown of historical segment data for its Merchant and Retail operations. The move is intended to give investors a clearer foundation for valuation, addressing a long?standing lack of granular profitability signals. The management is also expected to define long?term financial targets for both divisions, a step that could either validate or temper the market’s recent optimism.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying AUTO1 Group?
The core of the bullish thesis centers on Autohero, the retail brand that Goldman Sachs sees as the primary profit engine. A rising sales volume is viewed as the main lever for operational improvement, and the analyst house believes the brand is on track to reach its earnings goals. The market is now waiting to see whether the management will provide the specific margin milestones that have been missing so far.
Technical picture strengthens – with caveats
Monday’s close at €24.92 leaves the stock comfortably above all key moving averages: the 50?day average at €19.94, the 100?day at €19.92, and the 200?day at €23.69. The Relative Strength Index has climbed to 72.6, confirming strong upward momentum but also signaling that the stock is approaching overbought territory. Investors should note the annualized 30?day volatility of 52.64%, a reminder that swings can be sharp even in a rising market.
Despite the rally, the shares remain more than 20% below their 52?week high of €31.44, set in November 2025. The recovery from the March 2026 trough of €14.40 has been dramatic – a 73% advance – but the year?to?date performance is still in the red, with a decline of 17.35%. The capital market day could determine whether the stock finally breaks above the 200?day average in a sustained manner and begins to recoup those losses.
All eyes are now on Wednesday’s event. A clear set of margin targets for Autohero and the B2B segment would provide the catalyst that investors need to push the stock toward the Goldman Sachs target. Anything less, however, could trigger a sharp reversal in a market that has already priced in a great deal of optimism.
