Wacker Chemie stock (ISIN DE000WCH8881) trades at EUR 82.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026, at 10:03 a.m. CEST, 5.08 percent below the Xetra close of October 21, 2026, at EUR 86.60. On October 20, 2026, Zonebourse reported that Deutsche Bank cut its target for Wacker Chemie from EUR 92.60 to EUR 84.00 while maintaining a Neutral view.
Analysts reset the target
The Deutsche Bank decision puts the current Lang & Schwarz price below the new target, while the target itself is lower than the prior EUR 92.60 level. The latest move adds to a divided analyst picture. On October 15, 2026, MarketScreener said JPMorgan retained a Sell rating and a EUR 62.00 target.
What does the next quarter test?
Wacker Chemie is due to publish third-quarter results on October 29, 2026, according to finanzen.net. Its preview puts expected quarterly revenue at EUR 1.48 billion, versus EUR 1.34 billion in the year-earlier quarter, a 10.18 percent increase. That comparison gives the upcoming report a clear test: revenue growth must translate into earnings improvement.
Three target changes in order
The recent sequence began on September 29, 2026, when Jefferies kept a Hold rating and a EUR 93.00 target, as reported by finanznachrichten.de. JPMorgan followed on October 15, 2026, with its EUR 62.00 Sell target, before Deutsche Bank cut its target to EUR 84.00 on October 20, 2026. The chronology shows how sharply views differ ahead of the results.
Results date and operating evidence
Wacker Chemie's second-quarter sales were EUR 1.52 billion, up 7.00 percent year over year, while EBITDA before the pension accounting effect rose 53.00 percent to EUR 175.00 million, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. The same source said full-year EBITDA guidance was raised to EUR 625.00 million-EUR 750.00 million. Management also identified weak solar demand and regulatory uncertainty as constraints on the polysilicon business.
Stock price and valuation context
The current price is EUR 23.40 below the 52-week high of EUR 105.60 and EUR 19.95 above the 52-week low of EUR 62.25. Market capitalization stands at EUR 4.1 billion as of October 22, 2026. The price reaction is therefore material, but the next company-specific evidence arrives with the third-quarter report.
