Wacker Chemie stock holds near EUR 90 after new market data
Published on 08/26/2026 at 19:34 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Wacker Chemie AG (DE000WCH8881) stock traded at EUR 90.05 on August 25, 2026, and the company was valued at EUR 4.63 billion in a same-day market snapshot. That puts the shares well below the EUR 132.10 close from August 25, 2023, a historical comparison that frames the current valuation backdrop.
Market backdrop
The latest trading table in a German market overview showed the shares at EUR 93.10 in early trading on August 25, 2026, up 4.90 percent from the previous close. Another market note on August 26, 2026 put the stock at EUR 90.05 at the prior close, with the market cap still listed at EUR 4.63 billion.
That combination gives investors two current reference points: a sub-EUR 100 share price and a mid-single-digit-billion-euro equity value. The move is measurable, and the valuation is compact for a chemicals group with a large industrial footprint.
Latest reported figures
For the most recent reported period visible in the results, a mid-August 2026 market summary cited Wacker Chemie as a German chemicals name with current valuation context but no fresh operating release in the search set. A broader German trade briefing on August 26, 2026 also noted that the sector is still being watched for margin pressure, which matters for a company tied to cyclical industrial demand.
Historical context helps here: the August 25, 2023 close of EUR 132.10 shows how far the shares have reset over three years. The current EUR 90.05 level translates into a decline of 31.83 percent versus that reference point.
Product focus
Wacker Chemie's business spans silicones, polymers, polysilicon and biotechnology-related solutions. In practice, that makes the stock sensitive to industrial demand, energy costs and pricing conditions in downstream manufacturing markets.
Shares and valuation
At EUR 90.05, the stock still trades with enough liquidity to track the broader German industrial cycle, while the EUR 4.63 billion market cap leaves room for sharp valuation swings when margin expectations change. The most useful short-term lens is whether the shares can hold above the EUR 90 area after the latest price reset.
