Solvay stock (ISIN BE0003470755) traded at EUR 23.39 at Lang & Schwarz on October 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CEST. The chemical group updated its 2026 outlook after preliminary third-quarter figures showed underlying EBITDA of EUR 173 million. Solvay published the figures on October 19, 2026.

Guidance reflects a difficult quarter

The preliminary third-quarter release put underlying net sales at EUR 1.03 billion and free cash flow to Solvay shareholders from continuing operations at EUR 54 million. These figures give the guidance reset a more specific operating context than the headline range alone.

Solvay said the quarter was affected by the Middle East conflict and the shutdown of its peroxide plant at the Sadara complex in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The release also linked the updated outlook to potential revenue or recovery measures from Sadara during the rest of 2026.

What does the range mean for cash flow?

Full-year underlying EBITDA guidance now stands at EUR 720 million to EUR 740 million, while free cash flow guidance from continuing operations is EUR 120 million to EUR 150 million. Solvay said the cash flow range is after EUR 90 million of transformation expenses, making cash conversion a central measure for the next update.

Results date sets the next test

The company is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on November 4, 2026, according to the October 19 release. The preliminary figures are subject to completion of the quarter-end closing process, so the final report will show whether the sales, earnings and cash flow numbers changed.

Solvay keeps its listed-market profile
