The latest operating signal is a Japan recycling initiative that connects Evonik with Toyotsu Chemiplas and Sanyo Chemical.

Recycling plan in Japan

According to Boerse Express on October 21, 2026, the three companies are examining chemical recycling for polyurethane foam in Japan. Evonik contributes its hydrolysis process, while the partners handle collection, logistics and polyol expertise.

The initiative began on October 13, 2026, and aims to produce recycled polyols and amines for new polyurethane products. The announced work is an evaluation project, so its financial contribution remains tied to future technical and commercial progress rather than a reported order value.

What does the target imply?

EQS News reported on October 6, 2026 that Parmantier & Cie. rated Evonik Hold and set a six-month target of EUR 20.50. The Lang & Schwarz price is 1.37 percent above that target, calculated from EUR 20.78 and EUR 20.50.

Yahoo Finance reported on October 5, 2026 that Berenberg upgraded Evonik from Sell to Hold and raised its target from EUR 15.50 to EUR 20.00. The change placed the takeover discussion and the outlook for methionine prices at the center of the valuation debate.

Three dates shape Evonik's path

On August 4, 2026, Evonik published its second-quarter update and confirmed adjusted EBITDA guidance of EUR 2.00 billion to EUR 2.20 billion for fiscal year 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page. On October 5, 2026, Berenberg raised its target from EUR 15.50 to EUR 20.00, as reported by Yahoo Finance. On October 13, 2026, Evonik began the Japanese recycling initiative with Toyotsu Chemiplas and Sanyo Chemical, as reported by Boerse Express.

Dates for the next reports

Evonik's investor-relations calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 report for November 3, 2026 and the fourth-quarter 2026 report for March 4, 2027. The dates are published on the company's investor-relations page.

Stock valuation stays measured

Evonik's market capitalization was EUR 9.7 billion as of October 23, 2026. The 52-week range was EUR 12.49 to EUR 21.84, leaving the current Lang & Schwarz price EUR 1.06 below the high and EUR 8.29 above the low. These levels frame the recycling project as an operational detail ahead of the next earnings test, rather than a quantified earnings catalyst.

Evonik was trading at EUR 20.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 23, 2026 at 9:31 a.m. CEST, 0.39 percent above the Xetra close of October 22, 2026 at EUR 20.70. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Evonik stock.
