Annual range puts the move in perspective
Lanxess was at EUR 12.34 on October 20, 2026, compared with a 52-week low of EUR 11.03 and a 52-week high of EUR 22.02. The price therefore stood 11.88 percent above the low and 43.96 percent below the high. Its market capitalization was EUR 1.1 billion, and trading volume reached 141,284 shares as of October 20, 2026.
The current level also sits below the EUR 13.00 target retained by Deutsche Bank Research. Based on the Lang & Schwarz price, that target is 5.35 percent above the stock. The comparison is narrower than the gap to the 52-week high, but it still leaves the analyst view above the latest market level.
