Lanxess (ISIN DE0005470405) costs EUR 12.49 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:34 a.m. CEST, 43.28 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 22.02. The price remains 1.58 percent below the Xetra close of October 9, 2026 at EUR 12.69, while recent analyst views put the company between a EUR 13.00 target and a speculative EUR 21.00 target.
Two targets set the range
According to EQS Group on October 6, 2026, Parmantier & Cie. assigned Lanxess a speculative Buy rating and a EUR 21.00 12-month price target. The target lies 68.13 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 12.49.
That optimistic view contrasts with dpa-AFX, which reported on September 29, 2026, that Deutsche Bank Research cut its target from EUR 17.00 to EUR 13.00 and retained its Hold rating. The bank also lowered its third-quarter operating earnings forecast to EUR 135 million because of higher gas costs.
What does the target gap mean?
The numerical gap reflects sharply different assumptions about the chemicals cycle. Parmantier's report describes a possible 2027 recovery shaped by restructuring, capacity rationalization and deleveraging, while Deutsche Bank's forecast points to operating earnings of EUR 135 million in the third quarter.
LANXESS reported second-quarter sales growth of 6.00 percent against the prior-year quarter in its investor materials dated August 7, 2026, according to the LANXESS investor page. The next market test is therefore the third-quarter report, where energy costs and demand will determine whether the recent sales improvement translated into stronger profitability.
Three dated developments
On August 7, 2026, LANXESS reported second-quarter sales growth of 6.00 percent, according to the LANXESS investor page. On September 29, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research set a EUR 13.00 target and a EUR 135 million third-quarter operating earnings forecast, according to dpa-AFX. On October 6, 2026, Parmantier & Cie. published its EUR 21.00 speculative target, according to EQS Group.
