Umicore stock (ISIN BE0974320526) was trading at EUR 20.66 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:33 a.m. CEST. The key operating reference remains the first-half 2026 report, when adjusted EBITDA increased 33 percent to EUR 577 million and full-year guidance moved above EUR 1 billion, according to Yahoo Finance on July 31, 2026.

Half-year earnings reset the baseline

The result was broad-based rather than limited to one division. Revenue grew 7 percent to EUR 1.9 billion in the first half of 2026, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose faster than sales. The company also reported free operating cash flow of EUR 295 million, compared with an outflow of EUR 54 million in the first half of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance.

What does the margin mean?

Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 30.2 percent in the first half of 2026, compared with 24 percent a year earlier. That expansion gives the guidance increase more substance, but management also said second-half performance would be lower than the unusually strong first half as exceptional metal-market conditions normalize.

Three dated milestones

On July 31, 2026, Umicore reported first-half adjusted EBITDA of EUR 577 million. On July 31, 2026, management raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance above EUR 1 billion. On October 16, 2026, the stock was trading at EUR 20.66 at Lang & Schwarz during the pre-market phase.

Dates ahead for investors

The next earnings report is scheduled for October 28, 2026, according to Investing.com. Umicore describes itself as a materials technology and recycling group listed on Euronext Brussels, with activities spanning Battery Materials, Catalysis, Recycling and Specialty Materials, according to its investor-relations page.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The stock's EUR 20.66 reference price stood between the EUR 14.19 and EUR 26.98 52-week range shown for October 15, 2026. The valuation picture therefore still depends on whether the first-half margin gains and the raised full-year outlook can carry into the second half.

Price and investor perspective

Umicore's first-half figures provide the main operating benchmark for the stock, while the October 28 reporting date offers the next scheduled test. The price was trading at EUR 20.66 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:33 a.m. CEST.
