Lanxess (ISIN DE0005470405) was trading at EUR 13.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 10:32 a.m. CEST, down 1.72 percent versus the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 13.35. FinanzNachrichten reported on September 29, 2026 that Deutsche Bank Research cut its Lanxess target from EUR 17.00 to EUR 13.00 and kept a Hold rating.

Three dates frame the reset

The sequence is clear. On August 7, 2026, LANXESS reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 1.56 billion, up 6.48 percent from EUR 1.47 billion in the prior-year quarter. On September 29, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research reduced its target to EUR 13.00. On October 19, 2026, the Lang & Schwarz quote stood at EUR 13.12.

What does the target cut change?

The revised target puts the analyst view close to the market price rather than signaling a broad recovery premium. Deutsche Bank Research also projected third-quarter operating earnings of EUR 135 million, citing higher gas costs, while Lanxess was preparing its next quarterly report.

Next reporting date is November 5

The next dated company event is the third-quarter 2026 results release on November 5, 2026. LANXESS lists the quarterly statement and an investor-relations conference call for that date, giving the market a direct test of the EUR 135 million operating-earnings estimate.

Price stays below the yearly midpoint

Lanxess has a market capitalization of EUR 1.1 billion as of October 19, 2026. Its 52-week range runs from EUR 11.03 to EUR 22.02, placing the Lang & Schwarz price materially closer to the low than the high. The combination of higher second-quarter revenue and a continuing earnings loss leaves the next results focused on profitability rather than sales alone. Lanxess was trading at EUR 13.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 10:32 a.m. CEST, 1.72 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 13.35.
