HAMBURG (dpa-AFX Broker) - Private bank Berenberg has reiterated its "Buy" rating on Rheinmetall with a price target of 2100 Euro. The defense group's growth drivers remain intact, analyst George McWhirter wrote in a review of the financial results published on Friday. The order pipeline has continued to grow since the beginning of the year, and margins in the ammunition business delivered a positive surprise for 2025. McWhirter raised his revenue forecasts for 2026 and 2027. While he revised his estimate for this year's free cash flow downward, he turned more optimistic regarding the following two years./rob/gl/ag
