Three events shape the story

On July 15, 2026, BASF reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 17.20 billion, up 16.00 percent from EUR 14.80 billion a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 2.40 billion versus EUR 1.60 billion, according to EQS News. On October 6, 2026, Parmantier & Cie. upgraded BASF to Buy and set a EUR 59.00 price target, as reported by Aktiencheck.

On October 8, 2026, BASF added the GLYTHERMIN platform for primary-loop and direct liquid-cooling systems. The launch is commercially relevant because the company says the product combines heat-transfer fluids, propylene glycol chemistry and corrosion protection for high-density data centers, according to BASF.

What does the next report need to show?

The October 28 report will test whether the second-quarter improvement is continuing. Vara Research consensus cited by Aktiencheck points to third-quarter revenue of EUR 15,665 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 1,495 million. The comparison matters because BASF's second-quarter adjusted EBITDA exceeded the EUR 2.10 billion consensus by EUR 0.30 billion.
