Thyssenkrupp AG (TKA) traded at €8.295 on Capital.com's feed as of 10:58am UTC on 18 March 2026, within an intraday range of €7.825–€8.305. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Thyssenkrupp's subsidiary Nucera trimmed its full-year sales outlook on 17 March 2026, citing higher costs and now guiding for €450 million–€550 million in revenue (Reuters, 17 March 2026), while the broader corporate restructuring narrative – including confidential negotiations with Jindal Steel International over a potential phased sale of Steel Europe (TKSE) – continued to weigh on the stock (Reuters, 7 January 2026).

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

As of 18 March 2026, third-party Thyssenkrupp stock predictions span a wide range, with individual broker calls and consensus aggregators reflecting divergent views on restructuring execution, potential asset disposals, and cyclical conditions in European steel.

TradingView (analyst consensus grid)

TradingView aggregates 12 analyst ratings issued in the three months to mid-March 2026 and reports a mean 12-month price target of €8.76, with individual estimates ranging from €4.73 at the low to €13.80 at the high. The distribution shows three Strong Buy, one Buy, five Hold, one Sell, and two Strong Sell ratings, reflecting a broadly neutral consensus amid uncertainty over the timing and value of Thyssenkrupp's portfolio restructuring (TradingView, 18 March 2026).

Stockopedia (consensus tracker)

Stockopedia places the analyst consensus 12-month target for TKA at €11.80, implying a significant premium to prevailing market prices at the time. The platform notes that the estimate aggregates multiple sell-side models, with assumptions varying across scenarios for Thyssenkrupp's steel and industrial divisions amid ongoing corporate restructuring (Stockopedia, 10 March 2026).

MarketBeat (broker sentiment summary)

MarketBeat reports an overall Hold consensus on TKA, with the stock trading at €9.81 that session, below its 50-day moving average of €10.57 and its 200-day moving average of €10.18. The report flags a negative price-to-earnings ratio of -4.28 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 9.01, noting that these metrics may have contributed to analyst caution (MarketBeat, 5 March 2026).

Ad-hoc-news (Jefferies reaffirmation)

Ad-hoc-news reports that Jefferies maintained its Buy rating and €13 price target, with the target implying nearly 67% upside from the prior closing price of €7.79 at the time of reaffirmation. The piece also notes that JPMorgan downgraded TKA to Neutral on 9 March 2026, adding to a divergence of views across the broker community that has widened alongside the recent share price decline (Ad-hoc-news, 17 March 2026).

Reuters (Nucera outlook cut)

Reuters reports that Thyssenkrupp Nucera, the listed hydrogen subsidiary, trimmed its full-year revenue guidance to a range of €450 million–€550 million, citing higher costs. The revision adds another layer of uncertainty to group-level forecasts, as Nucera's performance feeds into broader assessments of Thyssenkrupp's decarbonisation segment (Reuters, 17 March 2026).

Across these sources, 12-month Thyssenkrupp stock predictions range from €4.73 to €13.80, with consensus aggregators clustering between €8.76 and €11.80 and a dominant Hold or Neutral rating, while the most bullish individual broker call – Jefferies at €13 – sits more than 50% above the most cautious aggregator mean, underscoring the breadth of uncertainty tied to restructuring execution and European steel market conditions.

TKA stock price: Technical overview

The TKA stock price trades at €8.295 as of 10:58am UTC on 18 March 2026, sitting below every tracked simple moving average and exponential moving average on the daily timeframe, with the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs stacked at approximately €9.53, €10.38, €9.80 and €8.41. The 200-day SMA at €8.41 is the nearest moving-average reference to the current price, with the 200-day EMA running marginally above at €8.54, forming a compressed shelf just overhead that price has so far failed to reclaim.

Momentum is weak. The 14-day RSI reads 37.27, placing it in lower-neutral territory and below the 40 threshold that often coincides with sustained selling pressure, while the ADX at 30.16 indicates that an established trend is in force, lending weight to the current bearish moving-average alignment.

On the topside, the classic R1 pivot at €11.95 is the first meaningful resistance reference. A convincing daily close above the €8.41–€8.54 moving-average shelf would likely need to happen before the pivot zone at €9.68 (S1, now acting as interim resistance) returns to focus. A subsequent close through that level would put R1 at €11.95 back in view.

On pullbacks, the classic pivot point at €11.08 sits well above the current price and offers little near-term relevance. The more immediate reference is the €9.68 area, which the TKA price has already broken below, with S2 at €8.81 now the next downside level to watch. Losing the €8.41 area – where the 200-day SMA converges with the lower intraday range of €7.83 – could open the way to a deeper move towards S3 near €6.54 (TradingView, 18 March 2026).

Thyssenkrupp share price history (2024–2026)

TKA’s stock price opened the two-year window at €4.885 in March 2024, drifting lower through the summer to a period low of €2.79 on 11 September 2024 as weak European industrial demand and persistent restructuring uncertainty weighed on sentiment.

The stock staged a sharp recovery from that trough, closing 2024 at €3.945 and accelerating through early 2025. TKA started 2025 at €4.015, then surged through the year, hitting a two-year high of €13.225 on 9 October 2025 amid renewed confidence around the group's portfolio overhaul and improving steel market expectations. The stock closed out 2025 at €9.33, representing a gain of roughly 136% across the calendar year.

2026 has proven more difficult. TKA opened the year at €9.71, briefly rebounded to €12.355 on 11 February 2026, then sold off sharply through March as Thyssenkrupp Nucera cut its full-year guidance and broader macro headwinds returned. TKA closed at €8.325 on 18 March 2026, approximately 14.3% down year to date and 19.4% lower year on year.

Thyssenkrupp (TKA): Capital.com analyst view

Thyssenkrupp's TKA share price recorded a strong run through 2025, climbing from around €3.85 in early January to a two-year high of €13.225 by 9 October 2025, driven in part by progress on restructuring milestones – including a collective agreement with IG Metall in December 2025 – and renewed speculation over a potential phased sale of Steel Europe to Jindal Steel International. Those catalysts could continue to attract attention if asset disposal talks advance or European steel demand recovers, though the same restructuring process carries a forecast net loss of up to €800 million for the 2025/26 fiscal year, which may limit the stock's re-rating potential in the near term.

The picture heading into early 2026 has become more complex. A brief recovery to €12.355 in February 2026 faded as Thyssenkrupp Nucera trimmed its full-year sales guidance on 17 March 2026, reflecting a more challenging green hydrogen market and investor caution around final investment decisions. On the other hand, Nucera secured a new 260 MW FEED study contract in India on 17 March 2026, illustrating that longer-dated project demand for electrolysis technology remains active even as near-term revenue faces pressure.

FAQ

Who owns the most Thyssenkrupp stock?

Thyssenkrupp’s shareholder base can change over time, so ownership levels may look different from one reporting period to the next. In broad terms, the company has historically had a mix of institutional investors, strategic stakeholders and free-float shareholders. For traders, ownership matters because concentrated holdings can affect liquidity, voting power and market reactions to corporate developments. It is worth checking the latest company filings or investor relations updates for the most current breakdown.

What is the 5 year Thyssenkrupp share price forecast?

There is no reliable way to produce a precise five-year TKA stock forecast. Longer-term forecasts are especially uncertain because they depend on several variables, including restructuring progress, steel demand in Europe, asset sales, earnings performance and wider economic conditions. Third-party forecasts can offer a range of scenarios, but they are estimates rather than certainties. Traders often treat them as one input among many, rather than as a prediction of where the share price will go.

Is Thyssenkrupp a good stock to buy?

Whether Thyssenkrupp is a good stock to buy depends on an individual’s goals, risk tolerance and market view. The company remains exposed to restructuring risk, cyclical steel demand and uncertainty around future earnings, which can all affect the share price. At the same time, some analysts see potential upside if restructuring milestones are delivered. That balance of opportunity and risk means the stock may appeal to some market participants, but it will not suit every approach or timeframe.

Could Thyssenkrupp stock go up or down?

Yes, Thyssenkrupp’s share price could move in either direction, depending on company-specific and market-wide developments. Factors that may support the price include progress in restructuring, stronger industrial demand or more positive sentiment around asset disposals. On the other hand, weaker earnings, guidance cuts, macroeconomic pressure or delays to strategic plans could weigh on the stock. Like any listed company, Thyssenkrupp remains sensitive to changing expectations, which is why price forecasts should be treated with caution.

Should I invest in Thyssenkrupp stock?

Only you can decide whether investing in Thyssenkrupp fits your objectives and risk profile. The stock has shown significant price swings over the past two years, which may suit some traders but not others. Before making any decision, it is important to consider your financial situation, time horizon and tolerance for loss. This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. Many traders compare fundamentals, technical analysis and external forecasts before taking a view.

Can I trade Thyssenkrupp 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.
