Second-quarter revenue rose 12.00 percent

Investing.com reported on October 1, 2026 that K+S generated EUR 978.30 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 12.00 percent from the year-earlier period. Operating EBITDA was reported at EUR 176.00 million, while the company raised its 2026 EBITDA outlook to EUR 680 million to EUR 760 million.

The figures give the price report a more balanced foundation: revenue growth remained positive in the second quarter, but the share price was still EUR 4.49 below its 52-week high. The next major operating test is the third-quarter report, scheduled for November 10, 2026, according to Stock-World.

Nutrien (NYSE, USD): minus 3.42 percent, P/E 13.66, market capitalization USD 32.4 billion

Analyst target remains below price

According to FinanzNachrichten.de on September 28, 2026, Berenberg raised its K+S target from EUR 11.40 to EUR 13.00 and kept its Sell rating. The note cited higher short-term potash price expectations but also warned of rising potash supply from 2027.

At EUR 14.20, the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 1.20 above that updated target. The next results date gives investors a defined calendar point for testing whether the stronger second-quarter revenue trend and the raised full-year EBITDA outlook are carrying into the second half.
