Salzgitter shares break through the 33 euro mark – analysts optimistic!

Something is happening on the stock exchange in Northern Germany! With a daily gain of 8%, the Salzgitter share is at the top of the list of the biggest winners in the SDax. The price is currently hovering around 32.9 euros in XETRA trading and has already reached a high of 33.4 euros. There is a clear reason for such an upswing: an analyst upgrade from Deutsche Bank Research upgraded the stock from “Hold” to “Buy”. The price target was raised from 27 euros to a hefty 40 euros. boerse.de reports that this is due to a more steel-friendly industrial policy in Europe, based on the EU Action Plan for the Steel and Metals Industry.

The revaluation of the Salzgitter share is apparently leading to short-term buying pressure in the tight market. This development should not be underestimated, because the Salzgitter share is highly sensitive to news and has fluctuated between 15.23 euros and 34.78 euros in the last 52 weeks. Mit dem aktuellen Kurs, der nah am Jahreshoch liegt, sind die Anleger optimistisch. This could also be due to hopes of European protective measures and energy policy relief, which are intended to stabilize the earnings situation in the sector.

The analysts' forecasts also ensure a positive mood. At Marketscreener there is an average rating of “Hold”, with the highest price target being an impressive EUR 41.50 and the lowest being EUR 20.50. Analysts from equity firms such as UBS, JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank see optimistic development opportunities for Salzgitter shares.

The European steel industry is facing a turning point, according to reports from [it-boltwise.de](https://www.it-boltwise.de/optimistische- outlooken-fuer-die-europaeische-stahlindustrie-staerken-aktien.html). The planned reduction in duty-free steel imports from 2026 and the introduction of a CO2 border adjustment system could strengthen the competitiveness of European steel manufacturers. JPMorgan has identified the carbon steel sector as particularly promising and market sentiment has been boosted by confidence in the industry.
