Fuchs Petrolub stock (DE0005790430) is trading in a tight euro range, with one recent close at EUR 33.95 and another quote at EUR 39.79 as of August 18, 2026. The next results date is October 30, 2026, and the latest reported quarter showed Q2 2026 revenue of €1.07 billion.
Results still set the tone
The most recent operating update visible in the market-data set shows Q2 2026 revenue at €1.07 billion, up 21.5% year over year, while net income reached €89 million and EBITDA came to €174 million. That mix matters for a specialty chemicals name because it ties the stock's recent stability to a quarter that still delivered double-digit growth on the top line.
Market value also stays central. One current snapshot puts the company's market cap at €4.41 billion, while the 52-week range runs from EUR 27.25 to EUR 35.90 in the same data set and the year-to-date return stands at +13.17%.
What the chart says
The shares have not broken out of their summer band. A recent close of EUR 33.95 sat just below the 52-week high of EUR 35.90, while a separate quote of EUR 39.79 showed the stock trading above its earlier close of EUR 39.49 in a different market snapshot.
The comparison is straightforward: revenue grew 21.5% in Q2 2026, but the share-price data still points to a range-bound name rather than a sharp rerating. That combination often leaves investors watching the next earnings date for proof that the sales momentum can translate into a steadier valuation step-up.
Lubricants at the core
Fuchs Petrolub's business still rests on industrial lubricants and specialty products for manufacturing, machinery and automotive users. Those products matter because they are tied to equipment uptime, maintenance cycles and customer specifications, not just one-off commodity demand.
For the portfolio, that makes the business more operationally granular than a simple materials proxy. The latest quarter's €89 million in net income and €174 million in EBITDA suggest the model can still convert sales into profit, even as the stock trades close to its recent range.
Investor view
As of August 18, 2026, the company sits between a €33.95 close, a EUR 27.25 to EUR 35.90 52-week band and a €4.41 billion market cap. With Q3 results scheduled for October 30, 2026, the next catalyst is a reporting date rather than a price target.
