Valuation: New PT of €83 from €82, lower valuation vs historical range

unjustified david.lesne@ubs.com

Shares are trading at 9x 2026 EPS UBSe, not even close to the lower end of the 12-19x +33-14-888 3034

historical range. Recall, Sixt has been growing its top line at DD% excl. FX or MSD% on

a reported basis, and the return to 10% EBT margin is well in sight (9.8% and 10.3%

2026-27E on UBS estimates).
