Berenberg lowers Hapag-Lloyd stock price target to EUR132 on weak Q2 results

Investing.com - Berenberg has reduced its price target on Hapag-Lloyd AG (HLAG:GR) to EUR132.00 from EUR170.00 while maintaining a Hold rating on the shipping company’s stock.

The price target adjustment follows Hapag-Lloyd’s August 14 second-quarter financial results, which Berenberg noted were in line with sales estimates but fell "materially below" expectations for EBITDA and EBIT.

While the shipping company’s quarterly sales came in 7% higher than consensus forecasts, its operational profitability metrics underperformed market expectations.

Berenberg has consequently cut its 2025-2027 EPS estimates by up to approximately 25% for the German container shipping company.

The firm also factored slightly higher capital expenditure into its revised outlook for Hapag-Lloyd, which trades on the OTC market under the ticker HLAGF.
