Lanxess stock (ISIN DE0005470405) was trading at EUR 11.91 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026, 0.85 percent above the Xetra close of October 23, 2026. The main stock-specific signal remains Deutsche Bank Research's September 29 decision to cut its Lanxess target from EUR 17.00 to EUR 13.00 while keeping a Hold rating, as reported by FinanzNachrichten.

Target cut meets Q3 estimates

Deutsche Bank analyst Tristan Lamotte lowered the target after reducing his third-quarter operating-profit forecast to EUR 135 million. That estimate is below the EUR 138 million consensus, while Lanxess has guided to a range of EUR 130 million to EUR 150 million, according to FinanzNachrichten. The report identified higher gas costs as a reason for the lower forecast.

What does the target cut mean?

The EUR 13.00 target is 9.15 percent above the EUR 11.91 Lang & Schwarz price. The comparison leaves the stock below the target while the next earnings release will test whether the expected operating result can reach the company range.
