Rheinmetall Shares Surge on US Ammunition Orders, UBS Raises Target to €2,500

Rheinmetall shares have surged, briefly topping 2,000 euros, driven by new ammunition orders from the USA for Eastern Europe. Swiss bank UBS has raised its target price to 2,500 euros, citing strong order books.

The German defence contractor's stock outlook is challenging, requiring efficient production capacity and further contract wins. UBS analysts praise Rheinmetall's strategy, which includes building up ammunition capacities and expanding its production base, such as the planned plant in Latvia. This enhances sales visibility and shortens usps times.

To maintain the current valuation, Rheinmetall must avoid delays and bottlenecks. Smooth implementation in procurement, production, and quality assurance is crucial. Concluding contracts with clear delivery plans and service packages is vital for political support to translate into earnings.

Rheinmetall's stock has benefited from increased orders, with a reported volume of 444 million euros. To sustain this growth, the company must effectively translate order intake into production capacity and secure further contracts. UBS has set a target price of 2,500 euros, reflecting confidence in Rheinmetall's strategic moves, including its informed delivery initiatives and euro to usd exchange rate management.
