Fuchs Petrolub (ISIN DE000A3E5D64) stock was trading at EUR 45.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 11:11 a.m. CEST, plus 0.15 percent versus the Xetra close of October 19, 2026 at EUR 45.58. The price stood 0.89 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 46.06. In a release dated October 19, 2026, Sharewise reported that FUCHS had raised its 2026 EBIT forecast after preliminary nine-month results exceeded expectations.

Forecast rises to EUR 500 million

FUCHS expects EBIT of EUR 500 million for fiscal year 2026, compared with its previous forecast range of EUR 460 million to EUR 480 million. The forecast is above the EUR 481 million consensus cited in the release, while the company specified its revenue outlook at EUR 4.1 billion.

Preliminary revenue for the first nine months reached EUR 3,126 million, versus EUR 2,700 million in the same period of 2025. EBIT rose to EUR 409 million from EUR 326 million, while third-quarter EBIT reached EUR 149 million and exceeded the EUR 116 million consensus.

Three forecast milestones

On July 22, 2026, 4investors carried FUCHS preliminary first-half revenue of EUR 2,003 million and EBIT of EUR 260 million. On July 31, 2026, the detailed first-half release reported the same EUR 2,003 million revenue and EUR 260 million EBIT. On October 19, 2026, the preliminary nine-month figures reached EUR 3,126 million revenue and EUR 409 million EBIT, making the latest forecast the current event.

What does the next quarter mean?

The October 19 release also warned that early customer purchases could weigh on fourth-quarter sales and that raw-material costs could pressure margins. That risk matters because the EUR 149 million third-quarter EBIT result cannot be extrapolated directly across the full year.

The next substantiated date is October 30, 2026, when FUCHS is scheduled to publish its detailed nine-month report, according to FUCHS SE.

Stock stays below its yearly high

For investors, the central question is whether the stronger nine-month performance can offset the seasonal and cost risks identified by the company. The current price remains within the EUR 31.80 to EUR 46.06 52-week range, while the market capitalization stood at EUR 6.0 billion on October 20, 2026.
