BASF stock (ISIN DE000BASF111) was trading at EUR 51.71 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026, at 11:04 a.m. CEST, down 1.65 percent versus the Xetra close of October 21, 2026 at EUR 52.58. The immediate catalyst is BASF's scheduled third-quarter statement, which BASF said will be published on October 28, 2026.

Results date brings a test

The company will publish the quarterly statement at 7:00 a.m. CET and hold its press conference at 10:30 a.m. CET on October 28, 2026, according to BASF. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for revenue, earnings and cash generation after BASF's second-quarter revenue reached EUR 17.21 billion and net income reached EUR 4.14 billion, according to the latest standardized financial statement for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The second-quarter figures provide a demanding comparison. Revenue was EUR 16.02 billion in the first quarter of 2026, while second-quarter revenue was EUR 17.21 billion, an increase of 7.41 percent. Operating profit fell from EUR 1.59 billion to EUR 892.00 million over the same sequence, making the composition of earnings an important issue for the next report.

What does the EUR 61.00 target imply?

Bernstein maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 61.00 target for BASF on October 20, 2026, as reported by Markets Insider. The target lies 17.98 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price. A separate research publication from EQS News dated October 6, 2026, listed a Buy recommendation and a six-month target of EUR 59.00.

Three dated BASF milestones

On October 6, 2026, Parmantier & Cie. published its EUR 59.00 target through EQS News. On October 20, 2026, Bernstein kept its EUR 61.00 target, as reported by Markets Insider. On October 22, 2026, BASF set the October 28, 2026 reporting timetable with a 7:00 a.m. CET publication time, according to BASF.

Dates investors can mark

The next two scheduled dates are October 28, 2026, for the third-quarter statement and November 23 and November 24, 2026, for BASF's Capital Markets Day, both listed on the company's investor calendar.

Stock stays below the yearly high

The stock's position leaves the October 28 results as the next concrete test of whether earnings quality can support the analyst targets.
