JPMorgan raises its position

According to EQS Group on October 13, 2026, JPMorgan's total position reached 7.27 percent, up from 6.37 percent in its previous notification. The filing assigned 3.14 percent to voting rights attached to shares and 4.12 percent to instruments.

The ownership change is material because the company has 179.10 million voting rights, according to the same filing. At EUR 14.00, the stock remains EUR 4.69 below its 52-week high and EUR 3.65 above its 52-week low of EUR 10.35.

Second-quarter revenue rose 12.29 percent

K+S generated EUR 978.30 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 871.20 million in the second quarter of 2025. IT BOLTWISE reported operating EBITDA of EUR 176.00 million for the same period.

The company also raised its 2026 EBITDA outlook to EUR 680.00 million to EUR 760.00 million from EUR 680.00 million to EUR 730.00 million, as K+S stated in its H1 2026 release. The combination of higher revenue and a wider earnings range gives investors two separate markers for the November update.

What does the holding mean for K+S?

JPMorgan's 7.27 percent total position adds an institutional ownership signal, while the price remains 25.09 percent below the yearly high. The contrast places greater weight on whether third-quarter earnings can sustain the revenue improvement recorded in the second quarter.
