FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - A significantly higher price target from Stifel boosted the Süss Microtec share price on Thursday. At the top of the SDax, the shares rose by almost 5 percent to 27.50 euros. The price target, which was raised from 27 to 34 euros, gives the shares almost 30 percent upside potential as of the Xetra close on the previous day.

The stock was also recommended by Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking, which included it on a list of ten smaller stocks for the new financial year. The manufacturer of microelectronic components should benefit from a "super cycle" around generative artificial intelligence, was the reason for the optimism./bek/stk
