Current Price Development and Forecasts
The Rheinmetall stock is currently in the spotlight of the stock exchange with a very optimistic forecast that is of great significance for private investors and small shareholders. The price is currently near 1,500 euros, which represents a record high and makes the stock one of the most expensive in the DAX.
- Since the beginning of the year, the stock has shown an impressive rally, with an increase of over 110 percent since early 2025.
- Analysts have significantly raised their price targets. The average target is currently around 1,528 euros, promising further increases of about 15 percent.
- Some experts go even further: Morgan Stanley predicts a possible doubling of the stock price by 2030 to as much as 3,000 euros – based on a strong geopolitical situation and increasing defense spending in Europe.
- Other analysts expect moderate increases in the range of 1,300 to 1,540 euros in the coming years, with revenue growth being assessed very positively (e.g., Jefferies expects +49% revenue growth by 2027).
Opportunities for Investors
- Rising defense spending in Europe is a significant advantage for Rheinmetall.
- A possible stock split could make the value more attractive for private investors, as the high stock price currently deters many.
- A listing in the EuroStoxx50 is also seen as a price driver since it would force large funds to buy Rheinmetall shares.
Risks and Warning Signals
- Despite the positive outlook, there have been profit-taking on the stock exchange; the stock fell by about five percent during trading after strong gains the previous day.
- Insider sales in March of this year (totaling over six million euros) raise questions and could be interpreted as a short-term warning signal – however, these sales have only been made by supervisory board members, not by the management itself.
- In the medium term, setbacks could occur due to already priced-in high expectations and profit-taking by private investors.
Conclusion
The forecast for the Rheinmetall stock is indeed making the market “tremble”. With a current price near 1,500 euros, the stock is at an all-time high with further upward potential according to analysts’ estimates between approximately 1,300 and over 2,000 euros in the medium term, and even long-term targets of around 3,000 euros by 2030.
For private investors, this represents an attractive opportunity due to the strong growth environment from European rearmament trends – however, they should also factor in potential corrections in light of current profit-taking and insider sales.
Overall, Rheinmetall remains an exciting stock with high potential but also increased volatility.
