FUCHS had extended its strategic Mercedes-Benz partnership on October 1, 2026, while Fuchs Petrolub stock gained 1.89 percent to EUR 44.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026. The current price was EUR 0.83 above the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 43.82.

Revenue and EBIT rise

According to Börse Express on September 14, 2026, Fuchs reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 2.00 billion, an 11.00 percent increase from the prior-year period. Operating profit before interest and taxes, or EBIT, rose 24.00 percent to EUR 260.00 million.

The same first-half report showed a second-quarter operating margin of 13.00 percent, up from 11.60 percent in the second quarter of 2025. That 1.40 percentage-point improvement gives the stock a fundamental support beyond its daily price movement.

What could pressure margins?

The improvement came with a qualification. Fuchs expected rising margin pressure in the third quarter of 2026 as temporary customer pull-forward effects and competitive advantages faded, according to Börse Express on September 14, 2026.

Management had raised its 2026 EBIT outlook to EUR 460.00 million to EUR 480.00 million from approximately EUR 450.00 million. The range implies that the company expects a slower second-half contribution than the first-half result, making the next report important for testing the durability of the margin improvement.

October 30 report date

Fuchs is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 30, 2026, according to Zonebourse. The date is the next concrete test of revenue momentum, EBIT conversion and the company's full-year outlook.

Stock gains against Xetra close

Deutsche Bank Research maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 54.00 price target for Fuchs SE on October 1, 2026, according to FinanzNachrichten. The target is 20.94 percent above the EUR 44.65 Lang & Schwarz price, calculated in euros from the two stated values.

The valuation debate therefore has two sides: first-half EBIT rose faster than revenue, but the company itself anticipated more difficult margin conditions later in 2026. At EUR 44.65, the stock stood EUR 0.15 below its EUR 44.80 52-week high and EUR 12.85 above its EUR 31.80 52-week low on October 13, 2026.

Fuchs Petrolub was trading at EUR 44.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. CEST, up 1.89 percent versus the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 43.82. The market capitalization was EUR 5.8 billion as of October 13, 2026. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Fuchs Petrolub stock.
