Aurubis stock (ISIN DE0006766504) was trading at EUR 157.50 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 10:14 a.m. CEST, up EUR 0.50 or plus 0.32 percent versus the prior close of EUR 157.00. The company is extending its leadership structure after a September 29 resolution covering appointments through 2031 and 2032.

Leadership terms run into 2031

According to EQS News on September 29, 2026, CEO Toralf Haag will remain in office until February 28, 2031, while COO Tim Kurth is appointed until June 30, 2032. CFO Steffen Alexander Hoffmann is intended to remain in office until September 30, 2032, while Inge Hofkens left the Executive Board on September 30, 2026.

Verena von Weiss, previously plant manager in Lunen, is taking responsibility for European recycling and the global recycling strategy, according to the same EQS News announcement. For investors, the change combines management continuity with a direct shift in responsibility for the recycling strategy.

Recycling earnings set the test

Simply Wall St reports that Aurubis generated EUR 6.46 billion of revenue in the third quarter of 2026, up 40.00 percent from EUR 4.62 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Net income increased 96.00 percent to EUR 153.00 million from EUR 78.00 million, while earnings per share rose to EUR 3.50 from EUR 1.79.

The company expects operating earnings before taxes of EUR 375 million to EUR 475 million for fiscal 2025/26, compared with the previous EUR 300 million to EUR 400 million range, according to Simply Wall St. That range gives the market a clearer benchmark for the benefit of higher metal prices, recycling activity and copper demand.

Cash conversion is the counterweight. A separate October 6, 2026 analysis from Simply Wall St put free cash flow before dividends for the first nine months of fiscal 2025/26 at a negative EUR 365 million and said treatment and refining charge pressure remained a key issue.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At EUR 157.50, the Lang & Schwarz price stood EUR 67.70 below the 52-week high of EUR 225.20, a gap of 30.06 percent, while the 52-week low was EUR 102.00. The market capitalization was EUR 6.9 billion on October 7, 2026, giving the earnings guidance and cash conversion figures greater weight than the modest intraday move.

Next results date is December 2

Simply Wall St lists December 2, 2026 as the next earnings date. Until then, the central balance is visible in the numbers: third-quarter revenue and net income accelerated, while the negative EUR 365 million cash flow figure keeps execution and project returns in focus.
