Parmantier sets EUR 21.00 target for Lanxess stock

Lanxess stock stood at EUR 12.81 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 2:41 p.m. CEST, up EUR 0.09 or 0.71 percent versus the prior close of EUR 12.72. According to Deutsche Boerse, Parmantier & Cie. gave Lanxess a speculative Buy rating and a EUR 21.00 target on October 6, 2026.
Target leaves a wide gap
The EUR 21.00 target is 63.93 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 12.81. Parmantier described the research as a six-month view and placed Lanxess within a 76-page study of the European chemicals cycle.
The report's framework emphasizes restructuring, operating leverage, capacity rationalization, portfolio separation, deleveraging and selective consolidation. For Lanxess, that combination makes execution and cash generation more important than a simple recovery in chemical volumes.
Second-quarter sales improved
finanzen.ch reported that Lanxess posted revenue of 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 report identified earnings per share of negative EUR 0.62, compared with negative EUR 0.52 a year earlier.
The revenue increase therefore came with a weaker per-share result on the reported comparison. The next test is the third-quarter release, which the LANXESS investor calendar schedules for November 5, 2026, including a management conference call at 1:00 p.m. CEST.
Credit risk stays central
According to FinanzNachrichten, Scope lowered Lanxess's issuer rating from BBB to BBB- on October 1, 2026, while moving the outlook from negative to stable. The agency cited structural challenges, sector overcapacity, stronger Asian competition and demand weakness.
That credit signal is the key counterweight to the new EUR 21.00 target. The market is therefore weighing higher sales against earnings quality, demand resilience and the company's ability to convert restructuring into recurring cash flow.
Lanxess stock remains below its high
Lanxess stock was EUR 9.21 below its 52-week high of EUR 22.02 and EUR 1.78 above its 52-week low of EUR 11.03 on October 7, 2026. The Lang & Schwarz quote was intraday, with the prior close dated October 6, 2026.
