FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) - On Wednesday, Rational shares exceeded 850 euros for the first time in over two years. However, after a good 21 percent annual increase, some investors apparently parted with the shares of the commercial kitchen equipment supplier, which were last traded at 814 euros.

The shares of the long-standing MDax member are currently not listed in any index, but are likely to return soon.

Baader analyst Peter Rothenaicher explained after the final annual report that there is no doubt about the good long-term growth prospects with at least high single-digit growth rates. After the share price rally, however, he feels comfortable with his "Reduce" rating./ag/jha/
