Parmantier & Cie. assigned Lanxess a speculative Buy recommendation and a EUR 21.00 six-month price target on October 6, 2026, according to Der Aktionär. Lanxess stock was down 2.00 percent in the Xetra quote shown for October 6, 2026.

Target stands above the quote

The EUR 21.00 target is 71.71 percent above the substitute Xetra price of EUR 12.23, using the same euro currency. The recommendation carries a speculative designation, which makes the target a scenario rather than a confirmed outcome.

The report's broader chemicals view emphasizes energy costs, capacity rationalization, portfolio separation, deleveraging and competition from Asia. For Lanxess, that framing puts the recovery question on operating leverage and cash generation rather than on a simple volume rebound.

Second-quarter figures set the baseline

Lanxess reported revenue of EUR 1.56 billion for the second quarter of 2026, up 6.48 percent from EUR 1.47 billion in the second quarter of 2025, according to finanzen.net. Earnings per share were minus EUR 0.62, compared with minus EUR 0.52 in the prior-year quarter.

For the third quarter of 2026, Lanxess expects EBITDA of EUR 130 million to EUR 150 million, while the consensus cited by 4investors stands at EUR 138 million. The same report said an analyst target had been cut from EUR 17.00 to EUR 13.00, underscoring the gap between cautious estimates and Parmantier's new sector view.

Results date sets the next test

Lanxess is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on November 5, 2026, according to EQS News. That release will test whether the EBITDA range can move toward the consensus level while the company manages weak demand and structural capacity pressure.

Lanxess was last at EUR 12.23 on Xetra on October 6, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. CEST, down 2.00 percent versus the Xetra close of EUR 12.48 on October 5, 2026. Price source: substitute price Xetra, Lang & Schwarz without data set.
