GTT Confirms 2026 Targets After Strong Half-Year Profit

GTT SA closed trading at EUR 214.00 on Euronext Paris on September 10, 2026, holding near the upper end of its recent range. The stock maintained its position following a significant analyst upgrade and the release of half-year results that confirmed the company's 2026 financial objectives.

The liquefied natural gas technology specialist reported a sharp increase in net profit for the first half of 2026 compared to the prior year period. This performance was driven by high activity in LNG carrier orders and services, reinforcing the strength of the company's backlog and the resilience of its licensing model.

Berenberg raises price target to EUR 245

On September 4, 2026, Berenberg upgraded GTT to a Buy recommendation and increased its 12-month price target from EUR 190.00 to EUR 245.00, as reported by Boursorama. This adjustment implies a targeted upside of EUR 55.00 per share, reflecting heightened confidence in the company's earnings trajectory and order visibility in its core containment business.

The stock reacted positively to the upgrade, closing at EUR 216.20 on September 4 before reaching EUR 220.00 on September 7. Although shares pulled back slightly to EUR 214.00 by September 10, the overall trend over the five-session period showed a modest variation of minus 1.02 percent, indicating consolidation after the initial strength.

Forward earnings and dividend estimates

Consensus estimates compiled by Boursorama indicate that GTT expects to pay a dividend of EUR 9.23 per share in 2026, up from EUR 8.94 in 2025. This represents a projected year-on-year growth of approximately 3.3 percent, supporting the company's commitment to shareholder returns.

Expected net profit per share is set at EUR 11.46 for 2026, compared to EUR 11.20 in 2025, a planned increase of roughly 2.3 percent. As profits rise, the estimated price-earnings ratio is projected to soften from 18.43 times in 2025 to 18.01 times in 2026, suggesting improved valuation metrics relative to earnings growth.

Index position and risk factors

GTT remains a constituent of the CAC Next 20 index on Euronext Paris, placing the mid-cap engineering group alongside other significant French names. Index data from September 11, 2026, lists the company with a free-float market capitalization of EUR 17,825,343, firmly establishing it within the French mid-cap universe.

Key risk factors for investors include the timing and volume of LNG carrier and floating storage orders, as well as regulatory changes impacting ship efficiency requirements. Potential delays in major liquefied natural gas projects could affect the pace of newbuild demand, though the confirmed 2026 objectives suggest sufficient visibility in the order pipeline to sustain revenue guidance.
