Deutsche Bank Research kept its Buy rating on Fuchs Petrolub stock with a EUR 54.00 price target on October 1, 2026, according to FinanzNachrichten.de.

Mercedes-Benz partnership extended

FUCHS and Mercedes-Benz extended their strategic business partnership on October 1, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations announcement at FUCHS. The announcement adds a commercial relationship to the current investment case, while the source gives no contract value or duration.

The partnership covers the further development and global provision of lubricant solutions across Mercedes-Benz's network, according to the company announcement. For FUCHS, the practical importance lies in customer access and recurring industrial and automotive demand rather than in a disclosed one-off payment.

First-half growth raises the bar

FUCHS reported first-half 2026 sales of EUR 2.0 billion, an increase of 11.00 percent from the prior-year period, in the transcript published by Yahoo Finance. First-half 2026 EBIT reached EUR 260.0 million, up 24.00 percent year over year, while free cash flow before acquisitions was EUR 61.0 million versus EUR 81.0 million in the prior-year period.

The same first-half 2026 transcript put second-quarter sales at EUR 1.1 billion, 21.00 percent above the second quarter of 2025, and second-quarter EBIT at EUR 135.0 million, up 34.00 percent year over year. Those figures show why the analyst target is linked to execution, but the company also described parts of the volume increase as temporary pre-buying and supply disruption effects.

Price stays below the target

The EUR 54.00 price target lies 23.51 percent above the EUR 43.72 Lang & Schwarz price on October 7, 2026. The current quote was EUR 0.16 above the EUR 43.56 prior close from October 6, 2026, keeping the daily move below the threshold for a directional headline.
