Cloud momentum and cost discipline support upside
On October 21, 2026, Intershop released its 9M financial results and
confirmed its FY 2026 guidance. Revenues declined by 7.1% yoy, but exceeded
our expectation by 2.3%. Reasons were falling license revenues, customer
churn and subdued investment activity. Cloud growth could not offset these
declines, although strong cloud orders, improving net new ARR and growing AI
revenues indicate some recovery. The EBIT margin improved from -5.6% to
0.9%, exceeding our slightly negative estimate, mainly driven by cost
reductions and improved service profitability. Operating cash flow also
strengthened. Management confirmed its outlook for a smaller revenue decline
than in FY 2025 and balanced EBIT, in line with our expectations. In our
view, the improved cost base and growing AI business support the investment
case, while churn and weak customer spending remain risks. We raise our
target price to EUR 2 (previously EUR 1.9) and confirm our Buy
recommendation.
