GrafTech International (ISIN US3843136074) was trading at EUR 8.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 8:02 a.m. CEST, unchanged from the prior close of EUR 8.35. The company scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for October 23, 2026, according to Business Wire on October 1, 2026.

October results will test pricing actions

The October 23 release will cover the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and give investors the next direct update on volumes, pricing and cash generation. The timing matters because GrafTech entered the period after announcing a minimum 30 percent increase in graphite electrode prices for open commercial negotiations.

MarketScreener reported the price action on September 8, 2026. GrafTech said the increase was intended to restore pricing to sustainable levels after weaker electrode prices and higher raw-material, energy and logistics costs.

Revenue beat, loss remained substantial

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue was USD 127.36 million against USD 125.02 million expected, while earnings per share came in at negative USD 1.47 versus negative USD 1.46 expected, according to MarketBeat on September 16, 2026. The revenue comparison was favorable, but the earnings shortfall shows that higher prices must reach profitability rather than merely lift reported sales.

The standardized second-quarter figures put net sales at USD 127.36 million, net loss attributable to common shareholders at USD 40.47 million and operating margin at negative 11.00 percent. Cash and cash equivalents stood at USD 145.36 million on June 30, 2026, while operating cash flow was negative USD 68.61 million for the quarter.

Analyst view remains divided

MarketBeat reported on September 16, 2026 that Zacks Research upgraded GrafTech from strong sell to hold. The same report cited a consensus rating of Reduce, four Hold ratings, two Sell ratings and an average price target of USD 10.67.

The separate currency matters: the Lang & Schwarz quote is an EUR reference for German investors, while the analyst target and NYSE quotation are in USD. At the NYSE, GrafTech was last at USD 9.40 on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, with a 52-week range of USD 4.92 to USD 20.32 and a market capitalization of USD 244.9 million.
