Fuchs extends its Mercedes partnership as Fuchs Petrolub stock sits 0.07 percent below its EUR 45.08 52-week high. On October 1, 2026, FUCHS SE announced the extension of its strategic business partnership with Mercedes-Benz, according to FUCHS SE.

Three dated operating markers

On July 31, 2026, Fuchs reported first-half sales of EUR 2.00 billion, up 11.00 percent year over year, while EBIT reached EUR 260.00 million, an increase of 24.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. On October 1, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research maintained its Buy rating and EUR 54.00 price target, with the note linking second-half growth to pricing, according to FinanzNachrichten. The same October 1 announcement on the Mercedes-Benz partnership is the latest operating marker in this chronology.

What will October 30 test?

Fuchs is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 30, 2026, according to Börse Global. The report will show whether pricing and volume trends can sustain the first-half trajectory after temporary pre-buying effects contributed to demand. Management's 2026 EBIT outlook is EUR 460.00 million to EUR 480.00 million, compared with previous guidance of about EUR 450.00 million, while sales guidance remains above EUR 3.70 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.

Pricing remains the market test

The first-half figures show operating leverage: sales increased 11.00 percent, while EBIT grew 24.00 percent. Free cash flow before acquisitions was EUR 61.00 million, down from EUR 81.00 million in the prior-year period, as working capital absorbed cash, according to Yahoo Finance. That contrast makes the October results important: earnings momentum was strong, but cash conversion and the durability of demand remain measurable counterweights.
