Symrise stock (ISIN DE000SYM9999) was trading at EUR 91.64 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 9:10 a.m. CEST, up 0.77 percent versus the prior close of EUR 90.94. Deutsche Bank Research kept its Buy rating and EUR 103.00 price target on October 1, 2026, while forecasting 5.30 percent operating growth for Symrise in the third quarter.

Deutsche Bank sees stronger growth

According to finanzen.net on October 1, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research said Symrise could accelerate from the second quarter and exceed market expectations in the third quarter. The EUR 103.00 target stands 12.40 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 91.64, using the same euro currency.

The analyst view gives the stock a defined test before the next company update. A 5.30 percent operating-growth expectation would make execution the central issue, because the target implies a higher valuation than the current quotation.

Buyback adds a measurable support

EQS News reported on September 28, 2026, that Symrise bought 141,600 shares between September 21 and September 25 at a weighted average price of EUR 92.50. The cumulative repurchases since February 2, 2026 reached 4,232,618 shares.

The repurchase figure is material for the market narrative because it connects capital allocation with a share price near EUR 92.50. Symrise also remains scheduled to publish its interim report for January through September 2026 on October 28, 2026, according to Symrise.

Stock remains near its yearly high

Symrise had a market capitalization of EUR 12.5 billion and a 52-week range of EUR 64.70 to EUR 95.00 as of October 5, 2026. The Lang & Schwarz price therefore stood 3.54 percent below the finance-data high of EUR 95.00, leaving the analyst target as a separate valuation reference rather than a new market level.

Symrise operates in fragrances, flavors, cosmetic ingredients and functional ingredients, serving customers in food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and pet nutrition. Its investor materials report fiscal-year 2025 revenue of EUR 4.929 billion, organic growth of 2.80 percent and an EBITDA margin of 21.90 percent, excluding the impairment of associate Swedencare, per Symrise.

October 28 sets the next test

The next dated checkpoint is October 28, 2026, when Symrise is due to publish its January through September interim report. Until then, the EUR 103.00 Deutsche Bank target, the 5.30 percent operating-growth expectation and the EUR 95.00 yearly high define the most concrete comparison points for the stock.

Symrise was trading at EUR 91.64 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 9:10 a.m. CEST, plus 0.77 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 90.94. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Symrise stock.
