RENK Group AG (R3NK) is trading at €54.04 as of 3:02pm UTC on 11 March 2026, within an intraday range of €53.30 to €56.43. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

The retreat reflects a broader recalibration after RENK reported record fiscal 2025 revenue of €1.37 billion, up 19.8% year on year, alongside a record order backlog of €6.68 billion (Yahoo Finance, 5 March 2026). Investors appeared to focus on the 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance midpoint of approximately €270 million, which landed roughly 2% below analyst consensus at the time of the 5 March announcement (Investing.com, 5 March 2026). The wider European defence sector remains a structural backdrop, with EU military expenditure projected to reach approximately 2.5% of GDP in 2026, an increase of nearly €80 billion year on year (Goldman Sachs Insights, 6 March 2026), as Germany’s 2026 federal budget allocates approximately €108 billion to defence, up 25% on the prior year (Atlas Institute, 19 December 2025). The German DAX (DE40) meanwhile fell to approximately 23,675 points on 11 March 2026, losing 1.2% in the session, adding near-term index-level pressure to German-listed equities including R3NK (Trading Economics, 11 March 2026)

RENK stock forecast 2026–2030: Third-party price targets

As of 11 March 2026, third-party RENK stock predictions span a range of €53 to €76 on a 12-month basis, reflecting diverging views on RENK’s 2026 EBIT guidance delivery, backlog conversion pace, and the structural trajectory of European defence spending following the company’s full-year 2025 results released on 5 March 2026.

Deutsche Bank (buy reaffirmation)

Deutsche Bank analyst Christophe Menard maintained a Buy rating on R3NK with an unchanged 12-month target of €72, as the bank held its positive view following RENK’s record full-year results. Menard retained the target despite the stock’s post-results pullback, amid RENK’s 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance midpoint of approximately €270 million landing roughly 2% below prior consensus estimates (MarketScreener, 6 March 2026).

Warburg Research (buy reaffirmation post-results)

Warburg Research analyst Christian Cohrs reaffirmed a Buy rating and a €63 target on R3NK, maintaining the view that the stock remains attractively valued after the post-results consolidation. The reaffirmation comes with RENK’s record order backlog of €6.68 billion intact and management guiding for revenue above €1.5 billion in fiscal 2026, as Cohrs describes the near-term share price weakness as disproportionate to underlying business fundamentals (MarketScreener, 9 March 2026).

MarketScreener (14-analyst consensus)

MarketScreener aggregates a 14-analyst consensus R3NK stock forecast, with a mean Buy rating, an average 12-month price target of €68.46, and a range of €53 to €76. The consensus is drawn from brokers including JP Morgan, BNP Paribas, Jefferies, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Kepler Cheuvreux, and MP Capital Markets, with the €53 low set by MWB Research and the €76 high held by Berenberg (MarketScreener, 5 March 2026).

Investing.com (post-results broker summary)

Investing.com reports that following RENK’s Q4 2025 results, the prevailing broker stance remains constructive, with the 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance range of €255 million to €285 million representing a margin band of 17.0% to 18.4% on revenue guidance of above €1.5 billion. The report notes that Q4 free cash flow of €67 million came in 12% below consensus, impacted by working capital outflows of €80 million, a factor cited by analysts as a near-term earnings quality consideration rather than a structural concern (Investing.com, 5 March 2026).

Takeaway: across these sources, RENK stock predictions converge in a €63 to €76 range for individual named calls, with a 14-analyst consensus mean of €68.46. Common threads are European rearmament-driven order visibility and RENK’s record €6.68 billion backlog, while the key divergence is how brokers weigh the 2026 EBIT guidance midpoint against prior market expectations and near-term cash flow delivery.

R3NK stock price: Technical overview

The R3NK stock price trades at €54.04 as of 3:02pm UTC on 11 March 2026, sitting below its entire moving average stack with the 10/20/30/50-day SMAs aligned overhead at approximately €56 / €58 / €57 / €58, generating a sell signal across all tenors. The 200-day SMA stands notably higher at around €64, underscoring how far price has retreated from the highs reached in late 2025. With all moving averages sloping above current price in a uniform sell configuration, the chart does not show a bullish alignment across the MA family.

Momentum is weak but not deeply oversold: the 14-day RSI sits at 43.19, in lower-neutral territory, while the ADX(14) reads 14.55, below the 15 threshold that typically signals a trending environment. This suggests the current move lacks directional conviction. The combination of a directionless trend and a sub-50 RSI keeps the near-term picture cautious without pointing to a sharp capitulation.

To the topside, the classic R1 pivot at €62.69 is the first meaningful reference; a daily close above that level would put the R2 zone near €68.45 in view, which broadly aligns with the broader analyst consensus price target region. Round-number resistance near €60 also warrants attention as an intermediate hurdle before R1 is tested.

On pullbacks, the classic pivot (P) at €55.90 represents initial support, sitting just above last price and consistent with the intraday high-to-low range of €53.30 to €56.43 recorded on 11 March 2026. The 100-day SMA at approximately €58 and 200-day SMA at approximately €64 now act as overhead resistance rather than support. Losing the S1 pivot at €50.14 would risk a deeper move toward the S2 area near €43.35 (TradingView, 11 March 2026).

RENK share price history (2024–2026)

RENK Group (R3NK) listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in February 2024, bringing renewed investor interest in the European defence sector following years of elevated geopolitical tension and rising NATO spending commitments.

The stock built momentum steadily through mid-2025, trading in the €60s and €70s range over July and August before accelerating sharply higher into the autumn. R3NK reached an intraday peak of €90.37 on 6 October 2025, its highest level since listing, driven by surging order intake and growing expectations around European rearmament budgets. That rally proved short-lived: the stock shed approximately 44% from its early-October closing high of €86.05 to a closing low of €48.22 on 1 December 2025, as investors reassessed the pace of earnings delivery against elevated valuations.

A partial recovery followed through late December and into the new year, with R3NK closing 2025 at €54.08 on 30 December. The stock opened 2026 at €55.56 on 2 January, briefly pushed back toward €67 in mid-January, then pulled back again through February amid profit-taking and broader de-rating of high-multiple defence names.

R3NK’s stock price closed at €54.28 on 11 March 2026, approximately 2.3% down year to date, and remains roughly 39% below the October 2025 intraday peak of €90.37. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

RENK Group (R3NK): Capital.com analyst view

RENK Group’s price performance over the past two years reflects the tension between a compelling structural growth story and the practicalities of converting record order books into near-term earnings. The company’s defence-driven business posted 19.8% revenue growth to €1.37 billion in fiscal 2025, supported by a record order backlog of €6.68 billion and multi-year visibility underpinned by rising European defence budgets, including Germany’s approximately €108 billion defence allocation for 2026.

For those monitoring the stock, the bull case rests on sustained NATO rearmament demand, RENK’s entrenched position supplying drivetrain systems for armoured platforms, and management’s guidance for revenue above €1.5 billion in fiscal 2026. The bear case, however, is equally visible: the 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance midpoint of approximately €270 million landed around 2% below analyst consensus at the time of the March 2026 results, and full-year free cash flow of €67 million came in 12% below expectations, raising questions about backlog conversion pace and working capital discipline.

The stock’s retreat from its October 2025 intraday peak of €90.37 to the current level near €54 suggests the market is repricing the gap between long-term structural opportunity and near-term delivery risk. Geopolitical shifts, changes to European procurement priorities, or broader equity market de-rating could weigh on the share price even if underlying demand remains robust, while any positive earnings surprise or upward guidance revision could also shift sentiment.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

Who owns the most RENK Group stock?

Based on the latest publicly available ownership breakdown, RENK Group’s share register appears widely held, with the largest portion typically classified as free float rather than concentrated in a single controlling holder. Disclosed institutional positions are comparatively small on an individual basis, with named holders reported in the low single digits. Ownership can change over time, so it’s worth checking the company’s investor relations updates and regulatory filings for the most current snapshot.

What is the five-year RENK Group share price forecast?

A specific five-year R3NK stock forecast is not usually provided by brokers covering RENK Group. Most third-party research focuses on 12-month price targets, which reflect analysts’ assumptions on revenue, margins, and order backlog conversion over a shorter timeframe. Longer-dated forecasts tend to be less consistent and more sensitive to changes in defence budgets, procurement timelines, and valuation levels. For that reason, five-year projections should be treated as highly uncertain.

Is RENK Group a good stock to buy?

Whether RENK Group is 'good' depends on your goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk. The article’s third-party research highlights supportive factors such as a substantial order backlog and revenue guidance, while also noting areas investors monitor closely, including the 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance versus prior expectations and cash flow delivery. This information is for educational purposes only and is not investment advice. Consider independent research and, if needed, regulated advice.

Could RENK Group stock go up or down?

Yes. RENK Group’s share price can move in either direction and may react to earnings updates, order intake, backlog conversion, guidance changes, and broader equity-market conditions. Sector and policy developments, including European defence spending priorities and procurement schedules, can also affect sentiment. Technical factors may influence shorter-term moves, particularly around widely watched levels such as moving averages and pivot points. If you trade CFDs, leverage can amplify both gains and losses.

Should I invest in RENK Group stock?

This article can’t tell you whether you should invest. Investing decisions depend on your financial situation, objectives, and risk appetite, and shares can fall as well as rise. If you’re considering RENK Group, you might weigh the potential upside from backlog-supported revenue visibility against risks such as execution on guidance, working-capital swings, and shifts in market valuation. If you’re unsure, consider speaking to a regulated financial adviser before acting.

Can I trade RENK Group CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade RENK Group 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.
