Deutsche Bank Raises Price Target for BASF
Deutsche Bank continues to assess BASF stock as undervalued and reaffirms its buy recommendation (“Buy”) with a price target of 52 euros. This price target is approximately 20 percent above the current stock price of around 43.29 euros (as of July 14, 2025), indicating significant upside potential.
Positive Analysis Despite Lowered Projections
This assessment is made despite lowered business target projections for the year 2025 and an expected decline in the operating result (EBITDA) in the second quarter, which is nonetheless within expectations. Analyst Virginie Boucher-Ferte from Deutsche Bank Research sees no fundamental change in the long-term attractiveness of the stock.
Relevance for Investors
For investors, this valuation is relevant as it points to potential price gains and underscores BASF’s strong market position in the DAX. The next financial report for the second quarter is expected on July 30, 2025, which could provide further impulses for the stock price.
