RENK Group AG (R3NK) is trading at €53.27 in early European trading as of 11:18am UTC on 1 June 2026, within a session range of €52.95–€56.53, as the stock pulls back from a recent high of €56.85 recorded on 29 May 2026. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Sentiment around the stock has been shaped by several near-term developments. KNDS NV completed a block sale of 5.8 million RENK shares at €45.10 per share in mid-May, raising approximately €262 million and trimming its stake to around 10% ahead of KNDS's planned dual listing in Frankfurt and Paris (Bloomberg, 19 May 2026). The transaction increased free-float supply in the stock (MarketScreener, 20 May 2026). Separately, RENK reported record Q1 2026 order intake of €582.3 million, up from €548.6 million in Q1 2025, and confirmed its full-year 2026 revenue outlook of more than €1.5 billion, with order backlog reaching a new peak of €6.9 billion (Reuters, 6 May 2026). The broader European defence sector has also been supported by elevated government spending commitments, with Germany's 2026 Bundeswehr budget allocated at approximately €82.7 billion, up around €20.2 billion year-on-year (GlobeNewswire, 6 May 2026).
RENK stock forecast 2026–2030: Third-party price targets
As of 1 June 2026, third-party RENK stock predictions point to a broadly constructive view, with individual 12-month targets ranging from €63–€76 as the stock consolidates in the low €50s following the KNDS block sale and Q1 results.
Warburg Research (Buy, target reiterated)
Warburg Research analyst Christian Cohrs reiterated a Buy rating on R3NK with an unchanged 12-month price target of €63, the lower bound of the named-broker range. The call was maintained amid the stock's continued consolidation in the low €50s, with Cohrs keeping his constructive view in place after the company's record Q1 2026 order intake (MarketScreener, 12 May 2026).
Berenberg (Buy, target revised lower)
Berenberg analyst George McWhirter updated his estimates and trimmed his 12-month price target on R3NK, citing more conservative assumptions around German military vehicle order intake volumes. He retained a Buy rating with a revised target of €72, still among the higher individual broker estimates within the active coverage group. The revision followed the KNDS stake sale, which McWhirter said added to near-term free-float supply pressure without altering his view on RENK's structural demand outlook (ad-hoc-news, 15 May 2026).
Deutsche Bank (Buy, target confirmed post-results)
Deutsche Bank reaffirmed a Buy rating on R3NK with an unchanged 12-month price target of €73. The bank maintained its positive stance as RENK's order backlog reached a new peak of €6.9 billion, with the company's full-year 2026 revenue guidance above €1.5 billion left intact (MarketScreener, 7 May 2026).
MarketScreener (14-analyst consensus)
MarketScreener aggregated a 14-analyst consensus for R3NK, with a mean Buy rating, an average 12-month price target of €66.71, and a spread of approximately 36% above the then-prevailing last close price of around €49. The panel included post-Q1 revisions from brokers including Deutsche Bank, Berenberg, Warburg Research, J.P. Morgan and Jefferies, among others (MarketScreener, 14 May 2026).
Reuters (Q1 results coverage)
Reuters reported that RENK's Q1 2026 order intake of €582.3 million beat the company-compiled analyst consensus of €557.4 million, representing a 6.1% year-on-year increase, as demand from the primary military vehicle division supported the result. The report added that management confirmed full-year 2026 guidance at the results stage, providing the reference point against which current analyst targets are calibrated (Reuters, 6 May 2026).

RENK earnings: latest results and upcoming dates
RENK Group AG reported its Q1 2026 results on 6 May 2026, with order intake rising 6.1% year-on-year to €582.3 million, ahead of the company-compiled analyst consensus of €557.4 million, as demand from the primary military vehicle division contributed to the beat (Reuters, 6 May 2026). The order backlog reached a new peak of €6.9 billion, and management confirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of more than €1.5 billion and adjusted EBIT guidance of €255 million–€285 million, leaving both targets unchanged from the guidance issued in February 2026 (RENK Group AG, 6 May 2026).
The Q1 2026 print marked RENK's highest opening-quarter order intake on record, according to the company's official release (Yahoo Finance, 6 May 2026). Adjusted EBIT rose 10.4% year-on-year to €42 million, outpacing revenue growth on an above-average margin trajectory, while earnings per share came in at €0.15, above the analyst consensus estimate at the time of reporting (Investing.com, 6 May 2026). RENK is expected to report its H1 2026 results in early August 2026, in line with its standard semi-annual reporting calendar, though no official date has been confirmed as of 1 June 2026 (RENK Group AG, 6 May 2026).
R3NK stock price: Technical overview
The R3NK stock price trades at €53.27 as of 11:18am UTC on 1 June 2026, within a session range of €52.95–€56.53. The stock sits above the classic pivot point of €51.94, but below the 100- and 200-day simple moving averages at €54.76 and €59.43 respectively, according to TradingView data.
The short-term moving average picture shows the 20- and 50-day SMAs clustered at €49.39 and €51.62, both below the last price. The 100-day SMA at €54.76 and 200-day SMA at €59.43 remain overhead references. The 20-over-50 alignment within the shorter-dated SMA family suggests a near-term constructive posture, though the stock remains below the longer-dated averages. The Hull moving average (9-day) at €56.58 also sits above the last price, indicating that the stock has not yet reclaimed that level.
Momentum is neutral to moderately positive. The 14-day RSI reads 55.32, while the average directional index at 20.05 sits below the 25 threshold, suggesting the current trend lacks strong directional conviction as of this reading. On the topside, the classic R1 pivot at €61.76 represents the nearest overhead reference; a daily close above that level would put R2 at €66.67 in view. To the downside, the classic pivot at €51.94 offers an initial reference, followed by S1 at €47.03 as the next meaningful level if that support is lost (TradingView, 1 June 2026).

RENK share price history (2024–2026)
R3NK’s stock price listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in February 2024. The stock spent much of its first year establishing a base, before a major re-rating got under way in mid-2025.
R3NK opened 2025 at around €47 and climbed through the summer as European defence budgets expanded and NATO spending commitments intensified. The stock hit its all-time high of €90.37 on 6 October 2025, briefly trading above €88 across several sessions as investor appetite for European defence names increased. A sharp reversal followed, with the shares sliding back toward €48 by late November amid broader sector profit-taking and valuation concerns.
The stock closed 2025 at €54.08 and opened 2026 with renewed momentum, pushing to a local high of €67.34 on 14 January before easing back. A further leg lower through March brought R3NK to a 2026 low close of €47.47 on 27 March, coinciding with wider market uncertainty and a rotation out of high-multiple defence names.
Recovery followed into late April and early May 2026, supported by RENK's record Q1 results. A KNDS block sale in mid-May applied fresh pressure, pulling the stock back to €43.73 on 13 May before a rebound gathered pace.
R3NK closed at €53.40 on 1 June 2026, approximately 1.2% below its 2025 year-end close of €54.08.

RENK (R3NK): Capital.com analyst view
R3NK's price trajectory over the past year reflects the balance between strong underlying fundamentals and a demanding valuation. RENK delivered record revenue of €1.37bn in FY2025 and posted its highest-ever quarterly order intake in Q1 2026, with a backlog of €6.9bn providing multi-year revenue visibility. European defence spending commitments continue to act as a structural tailwind, particularly given Germany's expanded Bundeswehr budget.
However, the stock's near-40% retreat from its October 2025 all-time high suggests that some investors view the current earnings multiple – around 49x trailing earnings as of 1 June 2026 – as already pricing in a significant portion of that growth runway. A deceleration in order intake, any shift in European political appetite for defence spending, or wider equity market weakness could weigh on the valuation further.
The KNDS block sale in May 2026 added near-term supply pressure, although it also increased R3NK's free float and may broaden the institutional investor base over time. RENK's confirmed full-year guidance and an upcoming dividend payment in June 2026 provide near-term reference points for the market.
Summary – RENK 2026
- R3NK trades at €53.27 as of 11:18am UTC on 1 June 2026, around 41% below its October 2025 all-time high of €90.37 and roughly flat year-on-year.
- RENK reported record Q1 2026 order intake of €582.3m, beating analyst consensus, and confirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance above €1.5bn with a €6.9bn order backlog.
- A KNDS block sale of 5.8 million shares for €262m in May 2026 increased free float but added near-term supply pressure, contributing to the stock's mid-May pullback to €43.73.
- The broader structural driver remains elevated European defence budgets, with Germany's Bundeswehr procurement pipeline extending well into 2026. However, any reversal in political or fiscal commitment to rearmament would represent a key downside risk.

FAQ
Who owns the most RENK stock?
KNDS NV remains one of RENK’s largest shareholders, although its stake was reduced in May 2026 after a block sale of 5.8 million RENK shares at €45.10 per share. The transaction raised approximately €262m and reduced KNDS’s holding to around 10%, while also increasing RENK’s free float. Changes in major shareholder ownership can affect near-term supply and market sentiment, but they don’t determine the stock’s future performance on their own.
What is the 5 year RENK share price forecast?
The article focuses on 12-month third-party analyst targets rather than a five-year R3NK stock forecast. As of mid-May 2026, named broker targets ranged from €63–€72, while MarketScreener’s 14-analyst consensus showed an average target of €66.71. Longer-term forecasts are more uncertain, as RENK’s performance may depend on order intake, defence spending, margins, valuation levels, shareholder activity and wider equity market conditions.
Is RENK a good stock to buy?
Whether RENK is a good stock to buy depends on individual circumstances, risk tolerance and market view. RENK has reported record Q1 2026 order intake, a €6.9bn backlog and confirmed full-year guidance, which may support investor interest. However, the share price has also fallen sharply from its October 2025 high, and valuation concerns, order intake changes or shifts in defence spending could weigh on performance. This article doesn’t provide investment advice.
Could RENK stock go up or down?
RENK stock could move in either direction. A continued high order backlog, confirmed guidance and elevated European defence budgets could support the share price. However, the KNDS block sale added near-term supply pressure, while valuation concerns, weaker order intake, political changes or broader market weakness could create downside risk. Technical indicators also showed mixed signals on 1 June 2026, with the price above shorter-term averages but below longer-dated moving averages.
Should I invest in RENK stock?
The decision to invest in RENK stock should be based on your own research, financial position and appetite for risk. RENK has strong recent order intake and exposure to European defence spending, but the stock has also shown notable volatility and remains sensitive to valuation expectations, government budgets and market sentiment.

Can I trade RENK CFDs on Capital.com?
Yes, you can trade RENK CFDs on Capital.com. Trading share CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
