Solvay (ISIN BE0003470755) was trading at EUR 24.53 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 3:33 p.m. CEST, down 1.45 percent from the prior close of EUR 24.89. The company said on October 1, 2026 that Citigroup had crossed the 3.00 percent voting-rights threshold on September 24, reaching a combined 3.09 percent, according to Solvay.

Citigroup position reaches 3.09 percent

The notification lists 0.43 percent in voting rights and 2.66 percent in equivalent financial instruments, producing the 3.09 percent total. The filing also identifies 105,876,416 shares as the denominator, giving the disclosure a precise scale rather than signaling an operating change.

For investors, the threshold disclosure sits beside a weaker same-day share price. The Lang & Schwarz quote of EUR 24.53 was EUR 0.36 below the EUR 24.89 prior close, a decline of 1.45 percent calculated against that prior close.

First-half revenue reaches EUR 2.282 billion

Solvay's first-half 2026 figures show revenue of EUR 2.282 billion, EBITDA of EUR 305.00 million and an EBITDA margin of 20.00 percent, according to Ideal Investisseur. Net income was EUR 64.00 million and free cash flow was EUR 15.00 million for the same period.

The comparison between EUR 2.282 billion in revenue and EUR 305.00 million of EBITDA puts the reported margin at 20.00 percent. That mix makes profitability and cash conversion more important than the ownership disclosure for assessing the company's operating trajectory.

Rare earth talks add strategic optionality

Solvay also confirmed on September 8, 2026 that it was discussing a potential strategic partnership with One Investment Management for its rare earths business, according to GlobeNewswire. Solvay cautioned that the discussions might not result in an agreement or transaction, so the rare earths project remains an option rather than a completed deal.

The next scheduled earnings release is November 3, 2026, according to MarketScreener. That date gives investors the next formal checkpoint for revenue, margins and cash flow after the first-half figures.
