JPMorgan lifts RENK stock rating to Overweight, doubles PT

On Friday, JPMorgan analysts revised their stance on RENK Group AG (R3NK:GR), upgrading the firm’s stock from Neutral to Overweight and significantly raising the price target to EUR70.00 from the prior EUR35.00. The upgrade reflects a renewed confidence in the company’s performance and an optimistic outlook for the European Defence Sector, particularly in Germany.

The change in rating comes after a period of uncertainty for RENK, marked by the unexpected resignations of its CFO in June 2024 and CEO in November 2024, as well as weaker financial results in the second and third quarters of 2024. However, the company’s improved financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 has alleviated some of these concerns.

JPMorgan’s analysis indicates that RENK is well-positioned to benefit from the increased defence spending in Europe. The firm’s recent orders for armored vehicles equipped with RENK’s products have been notably strong, suggesting a robust demand for the company’s offerings in the defence sector.

The analyst’s commentary underscores the reasons behind the upgrade, highlighting that "RENK had a much better Q4 24 and Q1 25 and we are now more comfortable with the company’s operational performance." The positive developments in recent quarters have contributed to the more favorable view of RENK’s future prospects.

The analyst further elaborates on the sector’s potential: "Given the extremely strong outlook for European defence spending (especially in Germany) and very strong recent orders for armoured vehicles containing RENK’s products, the future looks very bright for RENK, in our view." This statement reflects the analyst’s expectation of a continued uptrend in the company’s business, buoyed by the broader industry dynamics.
