Rheinmetall Stock Surges on Defense Demand, Lürssen Takeover
Rheinmetall's stock has soared due to increased demand for combat drones and loitering munitions. The company's takeover of Naval Vessels Lürssen, announced by CEO Armin Papperger in September 2025, has further boosted investor confidence. Goldman Sachs and Berenberg have raised their price targets, with analysts predicting sustained demand for defense goods.
Rheinmetall's order book has seen a significant boost, with long-term profit prospects looking strong. The company has increased its capacities to handle this growth, impressing investors. The German military and NATO partners have shown strong interest in Rheinmetall's systems, contributing to the surge in demand.
However, investors have expressed concerns about the company's operational management of numerous new projects. Timely delivery and clear cost control will be crucial for maintaining margins. Despite these concerns, analysts maintain a positive outlook, with Berenberg raising its price target to €2.330 following the planned acquisition of Naval Vessels Lürssen.
Rheinmetall's stock has surged due to increased demand for its products and a strategic acquisition. The company is benefiting from structurally higher defense readiness in Europe and a strong order book. However, investors will be watching closely to ensure smooth operational management of new projects.
