Elior Group Shares Drop 4.9%, Analysts Lower Targets
Elior Group shares fell by 4.85% to 2.826 euros this Thursday, February 5, 2026, midday. The collective catering specialist thus loses ground compared to its previous closing level of 2.97 euros. This decline occurs in a context marked by several recent adjustments of analyst recommendations on the stock.
The revision of price targets by two financial institutions has weighed on investor sentiment in recent weeks. Deutsche Bank made a dual adjustment in December 2025, lowering its recommendation from 'buy' to 'hold' while reducing its target from 4.00 to 3.20 euros. This new target now implies a limited upside potential of 13.2% compared to the current price.
AlphaValue/Baader Europe also revised its forecasts at the beginning of December, lowering its price target from 3.52 to 3.36 euros, while maintaining its buy recommendation. This target offers a potential appreciation margin of 19% from current levels. These successive adjustments likely reflect a reevaluation of the group's growth prospects in an economic environment that remains uncertain for the collective catering sector.
