Aurubis (ISIN DE0006766504) was trading at EUR 159.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:33 a.m. CEST, down 0.28 percent versus the Xetra close of EUR 160.40 on October 9, 2026. On October 7, Aurubis approved a new automated processing facility for metal-bearing intermediates at its Hamburg site, according to FinanzNachrichten.

Three dated operating signals

On September 29, 2026, Aurubis extended CEO Toralf Haag's appointment to February 28, 2031 and COO Tim Kurth's contract to June 30, 2032, according to Presseportal. On October 2, 2026, nine-month operating earnings before taxes reached EUR 374.0 million, up 31.00 percent from EUR 286.0 million a year earlier, while management retained its EUR 425.0 million to EUR 525.0 million outlook, reported finanzen.net. On October 7, 2026, the Hamburg hub project was reported with commissioning planned for late 2028 by FinanzNachrichten.

What does the project add?

The facility is designed to automate separation, sorting and sampling of metal-bearing intermediates with sensor and X-ray technology. That matters operationally because Aurubis can route increasingly complex secondary materials through its own smelter network with more precise valuation and sampling, according to Chemxplore. The disclosed commissioning date is late 2028, giving the project a multi-year execution horizon rather than an immediate earnings contribution.

Analyst target stays above the quote

Morgan Stanley maintained a Hold rating on October 7, 2026, and set its Aurubis price target at EUR 169.50, according to Investing.com. The target lies 5.97 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 159.95, while the stock remains 28.97 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 225.20 as of October 12, 2026. The contrast is clear: operating EBT improved by 31.00 percent, but the market quote remains below its yearly peak.

Next reporting date

Aurubis is scheduled to publish its next earnings report on December 2, 2026, according to Investing.com. That date will give investors the next formal update on the fiscal 2025/26 result and the EUR 425.0 million to EUR 525.0 million operating EBT outlook.
