Continental (DE0005439004) enters the new week on Xetra as a DAX constituent with a share price in the low 70 euro range. Fresh and partly diverging analyst assessments from UBS and Bernstein frame the current consensus picture for the automotive supplier.

What UBS and Bernstein say

UBS reiterated its positive stance on Continental with a "Buy" rating and a price target that, according to recent German market coverage on 26 June, signals upside potential versus the current Xetra level. This stance was highlighted in a finanzen100 summary of recent broker comments.

In contrast, Bernstein keeps Continental at "Market-Perform" with a price target of 66 euros, as reported on 26 June in a dpa-AFX-based analyst note carried by German financial portals. The Bernstein team around Arndt Ellinghorst underlines a more cautious view on margin progression and sector dynamics in European auto suppliers, as summarized by a finanznachrichten.de analyst news feed.

Consensus and DAX context on Tuesday

Continental is part of the DAX and Stoxx Europe 600, which keeps the shares in focus for both domestic and international benchmark investors. Around a current price region slightly above 72 euros on Xetra, the Bernstein target of 66 euros implies downside, while the UBS target implies upside, illustrating a split analyst camp.

Aggregated consensus data from platforms such as MarketScreener and German broker overviews show a mix of "Buy", "Hold" and "Sell" recommendations for Continental, with an average target in a mid-60s to low-70s euro band according to recent summaries from late June 2026. A broader DAX sector comparison places Continental beside peers like Michelin and Pirelli in the European tire and components segment, with valuation metrics often discussed at a discount to premium OEMs such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

How Continental makes its money

Continental generates a large share of its revenue with tires and automotive technologies, including safety and driver assistance systems. A flagship consumer product is the Continental PremiumContact summer tire line, which targets passenger cars with a focus on braking performance and wet grip across European and global markets.
