Investing.com - RBC Capital raised its price target on Airbus SE (EPA:AIR) (OTC:EADSY) to EUR240.00 from EUR220.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating following the company’s third-quarter results. Airbus shares are currently trading at $62.02, just below their 52-week high of $63.10, and have delivered an impressive 57.29% return year-to-date according to InvestingPro data.
Airbus reported better-than-expected third-quarter 2025 performance, with total revenues increasing 14% and adjusted EBIT margins reaching 10.9%. Free cash flow also exceeded consensus expectations.

The European aircraft manufacturer maintained its 2025 guidance, which now incorporates approximately EUR150 million in tariff costs. RBC noted that while this guidance implies a strong fourth quarter, investor focus has shifted to the company’s 2026-2028 outlook.
Airbus slightly lowered its A220 aircraft production outlook but still expects to complete the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) in the fourth quarter of 2025, which RBC described as "a significant step in risk reduction."
RBC expressed growing confidence in the aerospace original equipment manufacturer cycle, citing this as a key factor in its continued Outperform rating on Airbus shares.
