By Anna Wagner, Analysts & Consensus desk. Reviewed prior to publication on 2026-06-26, 15:51.

Continental (DE0005439004) sits back in the analyst crosshairs on Friday. UBS reaffirmed its Buy stance on the DAX-listed auto supplier with a 90 euro price target, while the shares trade around 73 euros on Xetra according to Investing.com.

What UBS and peers say today

UBS confirmed its positive view on Continental on 26 June 2026, leaving the 90 euro target unchanged, which implies roughly 23 percent upside versus the latest Xetra quote of 73.00 euros at 13:13. The call is led by analyst David Lesne and underscores the bank's expectation of a recovery phase in the auto supplier segment.

JPMorgan remains constructive as well. The US bank rates Continental Overweight with a 78 euro target and keeps the stock on its Analyst Focus List, signalled in a note from earlier in June. Bernstein Research takes a more cautious stance, reiterating a Market-Perform rating with a 66 euro target, which now sits below the current trading level.

Consensus and sector comparison for Friday

The mixed analyst messages translate into a relatively tight consensus range. InvestingPro data cited by Investing.com shows an average target of 74.64 euros from 14 analysts, only slightly above the Xetra price at 73.00 euros as of 13:13 on 26 June 2026. A modelled fair value of 75.30 euros likewise points to modest implied upside at current levels.

Within the European auto supplier space, Continental competes with peers such as Michelin and Pirelli in tires and with Bosch in automotive electronics, segmenting its exposure across replacement demand and new car production. The stock is a constituent of the DAX and Stoxx Europe 600, making it a regular feature in regional sector baskets.

The products behind the shares

Continental generates much of its revenue with tires such as the EcoContact 7, which the group supplies as original equipment for new electric models like Nissan’s N7 per a June 25 announcement. The company also delivers safety and assistance systems, connectivity solutions and software for automotive manufacturers worldwide.
