Revenue grew in the second quarter

According to LANXESS in its investor information, revenue reached EUR 1.56 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 6.48 percent from EUR 1.47 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The same period carried an EBITDA pre margin of 10.00 percent, compared with 10.20 percent a year earlier.

The revenue increase therefore came with a slightly lower reported margin. For the market, the more important test is whether the November results can show better earnings conversion than the second-quarter sales growth.

Target stands above the share price

Parmantier & Cie. gave Lanxess a speculative Buy rating and a EUR 21.00 six-month target on October 6, 2026, according to Les Echos. The target lies 68.73 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, a wide gap that reflects both recovery potential and the risks attached to cyclical chemicals demand.
