Lufthansa shares gain after Kepler Cheuvreux report
Lufthansa shares are up as much as 6.9 percent, reaching their highest intraday level since August 2023. Kepler Cheuvreux upgraded the German flagship carrier to “buy” from “hold,” pointing to an increasingly attractive risk-to-reward profile and supportive factors heading into next year. The price target was raised to 11 euros (from 7.50 euros).
- The upside potential, analysts note, is “hard to ignore,” highlighting the successful restructuring, a possible recovery in the U.S. economy, and the potential reopening of Russian airspace.
- Additionally, industry-wide capacity constraints and low fuel prices create a supportive market backdrop.
- At the same time, challenges remain, including pressure from labor unions, competition from Middle Eastern carriers, the group’s complex structure, and operational risks.
