OMV stock (ISIN AT0000743059) is responding to a strong third-quarter result, while the company also highlighted a sharp split between refining strength and weaker Chemicals earnings. The OMV release dated October 29, 2026 reported a clean CCS Operating Result of EUR 2,117 million and operating cash flow of EUR 2,199 million.

Cash flow strengthens the result

Operating cash flow increased 101 percent from the third quarter of 2025, while cash flow excluding net working capital effects rose 57 percent to EUR 2,334 million. Clean CCS earnings per share reached EUR 3.54, and clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders of the parent rose 94 percent to EUR 1,153 million, according to OMV.

Refining offsets Chemicals weakness

The Fuels segment delivered a clean CCS Operating Result of EUR 1,124 million, up from EUR 413 million a year earlier. The European refining indicator margin reached USD 37.50 per barrel, compared with USD 11.50 in the prior-year quarter, while refinery utilization rose to 92 percent.

Chemicals provided the counterweight. Its clean Operating Result fell to EUR 63 million from EUR 222 million, even though steam cracker utilization improved to 82 percent. This leaves the quarter highly dependent on refining conditions and commodity prices.

Higher spending and updated outlook

OMV raised its 2026 organic capital expenditure outlook to EUR 3.5 billion from EUR 3.4 billion. It also expects Brent prices above USD 95 per barrel, average realized gas prices of EUR 45.00 per megawatt-hour and a European refining margin of USD 25.00 per barrel.
