Thyssenkrupp (ISIN DE0007500001) was trading at EUR 13.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 9:41 a.m. CEST, 1.31 percent above the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 13.72. The Krupp Foundation backed plans to separate Steel Europe in comments reported by RP Online on October 14, 2026.

What changes with Steel Europe?

Ursula Gather, chair of the foundation, said the conditions offered a good window for the step. The foundation holds 21 percent of thyssenkrupp and is the group's largest individual shareholder, giving its position weight in any future separation decision. The report cited the restructuring agreement, the sale of HKM and European steel protection as supporting factors.

Three restructuring milestones

The transformation has produced three measurable markers. On August 13, 2026, third-quarter fiscal 2025/2026 sales reached EUR 8.80 billion, while adjusted EBIT rose to EUR 183.00 million, an increase of EUR 28.00 million year over year, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. On October 5, 2026, Reuters reported that thyssenkrupp was targeting an October 28 listing for 49 percent of tk accelis.

That chronology matters because the steel plan follows earlier portfolio separation steps. Jefferies raised its thyssenkrupp target from EUR 13.00 to EUR 16.50 on October 6, 2026, and kept its Buy rating, citing steel recovery and a smaller conglomerate discount, according to FinanzNachrichten.

What comes next for investors?

The next concrete dates are the planned tk accelis listing on October 28, 2026, reported by Reuters, and thyssenkrupp's fiscal 2025/2026 annual report on December 8, 2026, according to Die Glocke. The October listing is a reported target rather than a completed transaction, so execution and the steel separation remain the key company-specific reference points.
