Continental shares at Buy: UBS sees 33% upside potential!

Continental AG is in the focus of investors after UBS AG published a positive assessment of the share. In a detailed analysis, analyst David Lesne gave the stock a “Buy” rating and set a price target of 100 euros. This decision reflects an optimistic assessment of the company's future.

The Continental share is currently trading at 74.92 euros in XETRA trading, an increase of 0.2 percent. The most recent trading volume was 44,151 shares. At the current price, this corresponds to an upside potential of 33.48 percent, based on the price target of 100 euros. In addition, the share has already increased by 19.9 percent since the beginning of 2025, which is further increasing investor interest.

Reasons for the positive assessment

UBS's analysis focuses in particular on the effects of US tariffs. These require premium tire manufacturers like Continental to increase prices worldwide in order to maintain profitability. In this context, the analysts see significant potential for the company, which will be further benefited by the planned split of the group. These reforms could strengthen Continental in the industry and increase the value of its shares.

Lesne highlights that these strategic moves, combined with the planned price adjustments, could provide Continental with a solid foundation for future growth opportunities. This not only positions the company better in the market, but could also enable it to overcome the challenges in the current trading environment.

The publication of the original study by UBS took place on May 16, 2025 at 02:11 GMT. Investors and market observers will continue to closely monitor developments around Continental, particularly given the significant price targets and ongoing market dynamics.
