DZ Bank analyst Thomas Maul cited expectations for a convincing third quarter with positive volume and pricing trends in both business divisions. The lower target adds a quantified counterweight to the constructive operating view, leaving EUR 11.39 between the target and the Lang & Schwarz price.

The target lies 15.69 percent above the EUR 72.61 reference price, calculated in the same currency. Henkel is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 figures on November 10, 2026, according to Henkel.

Half-year growth supports outlook

Henkel reported 3.2 percent organic sales growth to EUR 10.3 billion in the first half of 2026, while adjusted EBIT reached EUR 1.620 billion and the adjusted EBIT margin was 15.7 percent, according to Henkel in its investor-relations materials dated August 6, 2026.

The company raised its full-year 2026 organic sales growth outlook to 1.5-3.5 percent from 1.0-3.0 percent. The first-half growth rate sits above the new lower bound, but the revised range leaves room for a slower second half.
