FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - After strong business figures at the beginning of the year, Jenoptik shares jumped by more than 8 percent on Wednesday. The shares of the Jena-based company are approaching their 50-day line at 27.50 euros after breaking through important long-term average lines in the morning.

Analysts' initial reactions were not all praise. Peter Rothenaicher from Baader, for example, criticized the weak order intake with higher sales. However, the operating margin exceeded expectations. Dirk Schlamp from DZ Bank also spoke of a "mixed picture".

With the current jump in the share price, Jenoptik shares have now made up exactly half of the correction from the annual high in mid-February to the low in mid-April./ag/stk
