Aurubis AG (DE0006766504) is trading around €165.50, after Marketscreener showed a Xetra quote of €165.50 and a 1-year gain of 65.45% as of August 19, 2026. The same snapshot put the company at a market value of $18.174 billion and an 18.18 billion euro sales base.
Nine-month earnings drive the story
On August 18, 2026, sector coverage said Aurubis lifted operating pre-tax profit in multimetal recycling to €87 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025/26, from €36 million a year earlier. The same reporting also said operating EBT for the first nine months of the current fiscal year rose to €374 million from €286 million, a year-over-year increase of 31%.
That combination matters because it shows the recycling arm adding €51 million to operating pre-tax profit while the group still operated inside a larger nine-month earnings base of €374 million. For investors, the comparison is concrete: the recycling figure more than doubled, and group EBT expanded by €88 million from the prior-year period.
Guidance sits higher
Recent reporting said management lifted full-year guidance for operating EBT to a range of €425 million to €525 million and operating EBITDA to €700 million to €800 million. One market recap also cited an average analyst target of €170.12, placing the current share price only a little below that level.
The stock still reflects a strong run in 2026, with Marketscreener showing a year-to-date performance of 33.12% and a 1-year advance of 65.45%. The chart also shows a 52-week high of €203.55 and a 1-week low of €194.13.
Recycling remains the core engine
Aurubis' multimetal recycling business turns scrap and complex recycled feedstock into copper, precious metals and sulfuric acid output for industrial customers. In the latest reported nine-month period, that segment was the clearest earnings contributor.
Shares near the latest quoted level
Aurubis shares were quoted at €165.50 on Xetra in the latest Marketscreener snapshot, with volume listed at €24.27 million. The market cap line in the same view pointed to $18.174 billion as of August 19, 2026.
