Thyssenkrupp AG (TKA) is trading at €9.555 on Capital.com's feed as of 10:25am UTC on 6 March 2026, after ranging between an intraday low of €9.445 and a high of €10 in early European trading. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

The move lower reflects a combination of company-specific and broader market headwinds. At the corporate level, Thyssenkrupp has warned of a net loss of between €400 million and €800 million for fiscal 2025/2026, driven by restructuring provisions at its Steel Europe unit , with the group also conducting active due diligence with India's Jindal Steel International over a potential sale of that division (Reuters, 9 December 2025). In February 2026, Reuters reported that the group is also weighing a spin-off, listing, or outright sale of its Materials Services trading division as soon as this year (Reuters, 18 February 2026). Meanwhile, the broader DAX has shed approximately 5.4% over the past five trading sessions amid more cautious sentiment in European equities, adding macro pressure to TKA's session performance (Investing.com, 5 March 2026).

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

As of 6 March 2026, third-party Thyssenkrupp stock predictions span a wide range, shaped by the group's ongoing restructuring, European steel-cycle dynamics, and portfolio simplification efforts. The following targets summarise recently published views from third-party sources.

Barclays (underweight, raised target)

Barclays raises its 12-month price target for Thyssenkrupp from €9 to €9.50 while maintaining an Underweight rating, as analyst Tom Zhang notes that Q1 earnings across the European steel sector came broadly in line with expectations. Zhang attributes the higher estimate primarily to electricity-price compensation within the Steel Europe unit, while flagging that any benefits from European protectionist measures are likely to materialise later in the year (MarketScreener, 23 February 2026).

Jefferies (upgraded to buy, raised target)

Jefferies upgrades Thyssenkrupp from Hold to Buy and raises its price target from €12.50 to €13, with analyst Tommaso Castello lifting his 2026 EBITDA forecast by five percent and noting his estimate now sits six percent above consensus. Castello points to supportive policy developments for European steel and identifies potential value-unlocking events, including a possible sale of the European steel business, an IPO or sale of TK Elevator, and a materials-division spin-off (MarketScreener, 20 February 2026).

MarketScreener (consensus snapshot)

MarketScreener's eight-analyst consensus places the average 12-month price target at €9.35, with estimates ranging from a low of €6.30 to a high of €13, and an overall mean consensus rating of Hold. The dispersion across individual targets reflects diverging assumptions on balance-sheet repair, portfolio execution, and European industrial demand (MarketScreener, 6 March 2026).

Fintel (consensus overview)

Fintel aggregates a broader set of analyst estimates and reports an average 12-month TKA stock forecast of approximately €12.07, with individual forecasts ranging from €8.79 to €15.75. The wider range relative to the smaller MarketScreener panel reflects varying timelines for restructuring milestones and different assumptions about European steel pricing (Fintel, 6 March 2026).

Takeaway: published 12-month Thyssenkrupp stock predictions span roughly €6.30 to €15.75. Restructuring execution and European steel-cycle developments feature as the common variables across all sources.

Predictions and third-party forecasts are inherently uncertain, as they cannot fully account for unexpected market developments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

TKA stock price: Technical overview

The TKA stock price trades at €9.555 as of 10:25am UTC on 6 March 2026, sitting below the entire short- and medium-term moving average cluster – the 20/50/100/200-day SMAs run at approximately €10.69 / €10.57 / €9.83 / €8.31 – with price wedged between the 100-day SMA acting as overhead resistance and the 200-day SMA providing the longer-term structural floor beneath current levels.

The 20-over-50 alignment is not intact; both the 10- and 20-day SMAs trail well above the last price, confirming the short-term trend remains under pressure. The 14-day RSI sits at 39.7, in neutral-to-soft territory, stopping short of a technically oversold reading and offering no clear directional conviction at this stage.

To the topside, the classic R1 pivot at €11.945 is the first meaningful reference; a daily close above that level would put the R2 area near €13.345 in view. The round €10 figure – which also corresponds closely to today's intraday high – represents a more immediate near-term hurdle given its proximity to current price.

On pullbacks, the classic pivot point at €11.075 sits above current price and now acts as resistance rather than support. Initial downside support rests at the S1 pivot near €9.675; losing that level on a closing basis would open the path toward the S2 reference at €8.805, a zone that also converges with the broader 200-day SMA shelf near €8.31 (TradingView, 6 March 2026).

Thyssenkrupp share price history (2024–2026)

TKA’s stock price opened around €4.56 in early March 2024 and drifted lower through the first three quarters of the year, touching a two-year low of €3 on 13 September 2024 as weak European steel demand and mounting restructuring costs weighed on sentiment. The stock closed 2024 at €3.945, down roughly 13.4% from where the period began.

2025 told a very different story. TKA broke sharply higher from February, surging from a low of €4.50 on 11 February 2025 to close at €9.86 by 6 March 2025 – a near-doubling in under four weeks, driven by a rebound in European industrial sentiment and improved expectations around the group's portfolio restructuring plans. The rally extended further into the autumn, with TKA reaching a two-year high of €13.225 on 9 October 2025, before a sharp pullback saw the stock give up those gains rapidly, closing out 2025 at €9.33 – still up approximately 136.5% on the 2024 year-end close.

The new year opened cautiously: TKA climbed back toward €12.36 on 11 February 2026 amid Q1 results and the Jefferies upgrade to Buy, before retreating again through late February and early March. TKA is currently trading at €9.555 as of 6 March 2026, approximately 1.6% down year to date from the 2 January 2026 close of €9.71, and 3.1% lower year on year.

Thyssenkrupp (TKA): Capital.com analyst view

Thyssenkrupp's price trajectory over the past two years reflects a group in the middle of a complex transformation. The stock's recovery through early 2025, from multi-year lows below €4 to a peak above €13 in October 2025, followed expectations around portfolio simplification – including the TKMS defence spin-off, progress on the Jindal Steel talks over the Steel Europe unit, and speculation around a potential listing or sale of the Materials Services division. Those factors also attracted renewed analyst attention, with Jefferies upgrading the stock to Buy in February 2026. However, the subsequent pullback to current levels near €9.555 illustrates the other side of that thesis: restructuring provisions contributed to a €334 million net loss in Q1 2025/26, and the group has guided for a full-year net loss of up to €800 million. Investors weighing the portfolio-unlocking story must set it against near-term earnings pressure and the execution risk involved in closing or listing multiple business units over a similar timeframe.

The broader backdrop adds further nuance. European steel continues to face structural headwinds – weak demand, elevated energy costs, and rising import competition – all of which bear directly on the Steel Europe division that remains central to Thyssenkrupp's cost base and balance sheet. At the same time, the group's green steel investment programme, backed by approximately €2 billion in public funding for a hydrogen-ready plant in Duisburg, could represent a long-term differentiation factor if European carbon-adjusted industrial policy tightens. Whether that investment creates durable value or adds financial complexity in a difficult cycle remains an open question, and the wide spread between the most bearish and most bullish analyst price targets – from €9.50 to €13 – suggests that market participants are reaching different conclusions.

FAQ

Who owns the most Thyssenkrupp stock?

Thyssenkrupp has a widely held shareholder base, and the largest holder can change as institutions rebalance or disclose new positions. Public filings and investor-relations updates are usually the most reliable way to identify the current top shareholders, because 'largest owner' depends on the date, the source, and whether you’re looking at voting rights or economic interest. If you’re assessing ownership, it can also help to note any strategic shareholders and free-float levels.

What is the 5 year Thyssenkrupp share price forecast?

A five-year TKA stock forecast is typically more uncertain than shorter-term targets, because it depends on variables that are hard to model: steel-cycle conditions, energy costs, import competition, and the outcomes of portfolio actions such as potential divestments, listings, or restructuring at Steel Europe. The article mainly references 12-month third-party targets, which already show a wide range. Over five years, forecasts often become scenario-based rather than a single point estimate.

Is Thyssenkrupp a good stock to buy?

Whether Thyssenkrupp is 'good' depends on your objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon, rather than a universal answer. The article highlights both potential upside drivers (such as portfolio simplification and possible value-unlocking events) and material risks, including restructuring provisions, guided net losses, and execution risk across multiple business units. It also notes a wide spread in third-party analyst targets, which suggests differing views on fundamentals and outcomes. This is not financial advice.

Could Thyssenkrupp stock go up or down?

Yes. Like most equities, Thyssenkrupp can move in either direction, and the article outlines several factors that may influence that path. Company-specific developments – restructuring progress, updates on potential transactions, and quarterly results – can shift expectations quickly. Macro factors also matter, including European industrial demand, steel pricing, energy costs, and broader equity risk appetite. Technical levels (moving averages and pivot points) may frame how some market participants assess momentum, but they don’t predict outcomes.

Should I invest in Thyssenkrupp stock?

Only you can decide, and it’s worth separating 'investing in the shares' from 'trading via CFDs', as the risks and mechanics differ. The article points to significant uncertainty around near-term earnings, restructuring costs, and the timing of portfolio measures, alongside potential longer-term upside scenarios. If you’re considering any exposure, you may want to define your timeframe, set risk limits, and review independent research. This content is informational and doesn’t constitute a recommendation.

Can I trade Thyssenkrupp (TKA) CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade Thyssenkrupp 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.
