Gerresheimer (ISIN DE000A0LD6E6) completed the sale of Centor on October 1, 2026, with the transaction value for both divested businesses set at EUR 1.5 billion. The stock was at EUR 29.09 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 10:10 a.m. CEST, 9.09 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 32.00.

Three milestones reshape the group

On July 29, 2026, Gerresheimer agreed to sell Centor and Primary Packaging Plastics for a combined enterprise value of EUR 1.5 billion, according to FinanzNachrichten.

On September 30, 2026, Gerresheimer reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 578 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 102 million, according to Gerresheimer. Revenue rose EUR 55 million from the first quarter, while adjusted EBITDA increased EUR 35 million.

On October 1, 2026, the Centor sale closed, with the proceeds designated for debt reduction, according to FinanzNachrichten.

What does the recovery mean for margins?

The second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin reached 17.60 percent, up 5.00 percentage points from the first quarter, but below the 2025 comparison level of 21.00 percent cited in the company release. That mix of sequential improvement and year-over-year pressure explains why the stock remains below its annual high.

Jefferies kept its Hold rating and EUR 26.80 price target on September 30, 2026, according to FinanzNachrichten. The analyst also highlighted higher net debt and lower liquidity, setting a counterweight to the margin recovery.

November brings two reporting dates

Gerresheimer's investor calendar lists the half-year financial report and the third-quarter communication for November 2026, according to Gerresheimer. The company also expects the Primary Packaging Plastics transaction to close in the first half of 2027.

Stock stays below its yearly high

At EUR 29.09, Gerresheimer stock stood EUR 0.01, or 0.03 percent, below the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 29.10. The quote was intraday at Lang & Schwarz in the trading phase, while the primary listing is on Xetra.
