Continental AG added to Analyst Focus List at JPMorgan

JPMorgan analyst Akshat Kacker keeps an Overweight rating and a EUR 76 price target on Continental AG (CTTAY) as part of a broader research note previewing 2026 for the Autos sector. The year will be marked by limited production growth globally, trade tensions across Europe, China and the US, a slower-than-expected transition to BEVs globally, with Chinese OEMs also taking market share across all regions except the U.S., the analyst tells investors in a research note. Auto suppliers will focus on cost cutting actions in order to improve their earnings and cash profile, particularly in Europe, gradually feeding into an improvement of the equity value of the firms as already seen in FY25, the firm added.
