On Friday, Deutsche Boerse (ETR:DB1Gn) AG (DB1:GR) (OTC: DBOEY) had its price target increased by Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) to €235 from €220, while the firm maintained a Buy rating on the stock. The adjustment reflects expectations of a strong quarterly performance from the European exchange operator, which is anticipated to align with its enhanced 2024 financial targets and potentially mark another record year in terms of revenue and profits.
The outgoing Co-CEO Theodor Weimer's last set of results is projected to showcase an 8% year-over-year organic revenue growth. This solid trajectory is expected to continue even as the company prepares for a leadership change, with Stephan Leithner set to become the sole CEO starting January 1.
Deutsche Bank's analysis indicates that despite the challenges posed by tough comparisons and global interest rate cuts, Deutsche Boerse is on course for organic growth, particularly in recurring revenues. The firm is also believed to be well-positioned to undertake larger mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities.
The transition to new leadership is seen as a period of steady progress for the company. Deutsche Bank's commentary underscores their positive outlook on Deutsche Boerse, citing the company's potential for quality growth as a key reason for the maintained Buy rating and the raised price target.
