Fuchs Petrolub (ISIN DE000A3E5D64) was last at EUR 42.68 on Xetra on October 2, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CET, up 0.57 percent from the prior quote. On October 1, FUCHS SE announced an extension of its strategic business partnership with Mercedes-Benz, giving the stock a fresh operating story as the next quarterly figures approach.

Mercedes-Benz partnership continues

According to Deutsche Boerse on October 1, 2026, FUCHS SE and Mercedes-Benz extended their strategic agreement. The cooperation covers tailor-made lubrication solutions for the global Mercedes-Benz after-sales network and continued work on vehicle performance, efficiency and sustainability.

The announcement contains no contract value, so the market must judge the partnership through later operating figures rather than an immediately measurable order contribution. That makes the next report important for testing whether pricing and volumes can offset raw-material and demand pressure.

EBIT growth outpaces sales

FUCHS SE reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 2.0 billion, an 11 percent increase, while EBIT rose 24 percent to EUR 260 million, according to Boerse Express. The second-quarter operating margin reached 13.0 percent, compared with 11.6 percent in the prior-year period.

Management raised its 2026 EBIT guidance to EUR 460 million-480 million from EUR 450 million previously. The same report also identified a counter-factor: pre-buying effects and supply disruptions at competitors supported first-half demand, while FUCHS expects greater margin pressure in the third quarter.

Deutsche Bank Research maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 54 price target on October 1, 2026, according to Finanzen. The analyst commentary tied second-half growth increasingly to pricing, making margin delivery the central checkpoint for the next results.
