Kemira stock was trading at EUR 17.48 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 9:14 a.m. CEST, up 0.52 percent versus the prior close of EUR 17.39. The latest strategic signal is the clearance of Kemira's planned Sidra acquisition, which adds scale in water treatment chemicals.

Sidra clearance targets water treatment

According to the Bundeskartellamt on September 18, 2026, Kemira received clearance to acquire Sidra Wasserchemie GmbH after an in-depth competition review. The authority said the two companies would have a strong position in iron salts in parts of Germany and neighboring countries, while sufficient competitors would remain.

The transaction fits Kemira's core water strategy. The company operates 58 production sites, and the acquired business supplies iron salts from two German facilities to customers in Germany and the Benelux countries.

Q2 margin trails fiscal 2025

Kemira's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. Its investor materials show revenue of EUR 693.0 million, operative EBITDA of EUR 111.7 million and an operative EBITDA margin of 16.1 percent.

The comparison is more revealing than revenue alone: the Q2 margin was 3.0 percentage points below the 19.1 percent operative EBITDA margin reported for fiscal year 2025. Kemira said raw material and logistics costs weighed on profitability as demand remained soft, making cost control a central test for the Sidra integration.

Stock remains below yearly high

At EUR 17.48, the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 3.98 below the 52-week high of EUR 21.46 and EUR 2.19 above the 52-week low of EUR 15.29, with the range dated September 30, 2026. Kemira's market capitalization was EUR 2.5 billion on the same date.

Next report is October 23

The next scheduled checkpoint is Kemira's third-quarter 2026 report on October 23, 2026, according to onvista. That report should show whether the 16.1 percent Q2 margin was a temporary cost squeeze or an early measure of the earnings effect from weaker demand and the expanded water chemicals platform.
