Schaeffler (DE000SHA0100) sits back in focus after a fresh valuation take by Citi, while the shares most recently trade around €8 on Tradegate. Citi sees the core business fairly valued at roughly €8.30 per share and highlights further upside from new non-automotive activities, according to an Investing.com summary.

What Citi highlights today

According to an English-language note reported by Investing.com, Citi flags Schaeffler shares as a buying opportunity at around €8, arguing that the valuation looks attractive after a near 24 percent pullback from recent highs. The bank estimates the core automotive-focused operations are worth about €8.30 per share, roughly in line with the current trading zone, and argues that additional value of approximately €4.50 per share could arise from newer areas such as humanoid robotics, space and defense technology.

The Investing.com piece notes that Schaeffler shares had been down about 1.5 percent earlier in the session before the Citi comments, then reversed to trade around 1.1 percent higher at roughly €8.57 per share. The analyst attributes the preceding share price weakness to broader pressure on European and German original equipment manufacturers, a pullback in defense-linked stocks and underperformance in exchange-traded funds focused on humanoid robotics, rather than to company-specific deterioration.

Operational backdrop and Q2 date

Citi’s view is set against a first-quarter 2026 picture that Investing.com describes as showing improved EBIT margins, with Schaeffler reaffirming its full-year revenue forecast range for 2026 in its early May release. The bank does not see the roughly one-quarter share-price decline from the recent high as a reflection of a weaker outlook, but instead as a technical and sector-driven move.

As a concrete calendar marker, Citi points to Schaeffler’s planned second-quarter 2026 pre-close communication on July 14, 2026, as the next scheduled update for investors. Ahead of that date, the bank stresses the mix of a still-solid operational base and the optionality embedded in newer projects beyond traditional automotive supply, including humanoid robotics tie-ups and space-related engineering initiatives.

The products behind the stock

Schaeffler generates most of its revenue as a global supplier of precision components and systems for automotive and industrial applications, with rolling bearings and engine systems as core product lines. In addition, the group increasingly develops motion technology solutions for emerging fields such as humanoid robots and space-sector mechanisms, expanding its reach beyond traditional auto supply according to the Citi assessment.

Where the shares trade today

The Schaeffler shares (DE000SHA0100) trade on Tradegate on 2026-06-25 at approximately 8.39 euros, with the latest order-book data showing a bid of 8.34 euros and an ask of 8.37 euros in euro-denominated trading.
