Gerresheimer stock (ISIN DE000A0LD6E6) was trading at EUR 29.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST, up 2.26 percent versus the Xetra close of October 15, 2026 at EUR 28.70. Gerresheimer said on October 13, 2026 that it had improved its EcoVadis rating and received Gold recognition.

Recovery reaches the second quarter

The sustainability award adds a fresh corporate signal, but the more material stock context remains the operating recovery reported for the second quarter. According to FT, preliminary revenue reached EUR 578 million in the second quarter of 2026, down 5.86 percent from EUR 614 million in the same quarter of 2025.

What does the recovery mean for margins?

The sequential improvement was clearer in profitability. Adjusted EBITDA increased from EUR 67 million in the first quarter of 2026 to EUR 102 million in the second quarter, while the adjusted EBITDA margin reached 17.60 percent in the second quarter. The comparison shows a sharper earnings rebound than the revenue line, although the year-over-year revenue decline remains a constraint.

Three milestones since July

Gerresheimer announced the sale of its Centor and Primary Packaging Plastics businesses to Apax Funds on July 29, 2026, according to Gerresheimer. On September 30, 2026, the company reported second-quarter revenue of EUR 578 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 102 million in preliminary results, as FT reported. On October 13, 2026, the EcoVadis Gold award added a separate sustainability milestone.

When is the next investor event?

The next precisely dated investor event is the Berenberg European Conference on December 2, 2026, according to Gerresheimer. The financial calendar also places the half-year report and the third-quarter statement in November 2026, but gives no day for either publication.

Price points to a firmer session

The market move gives the operating recovery a concrete trading backdrop. Gerresheimer stock was trading at EUR 29.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST, 2.26 percent above the Xetra close of October 15, 2026 at EUR 28.70. The 52-week range of EUR 14.83 to EUR 32.00 leaves the quote below the yearly high while keeping the stock well above its low. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Gerresheimer stock.
