Quarterly revenue gains 6.48 percent

According to finanzen.ch, Lanxess reported Q2 2026 revenue of EUR 1.56 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with EUR 1.47 billion in Q2 2025. That represents growth of 6.48 percent, but earnings per share deteriorated to negative EUR 0.62 from negative EUR 0.52.

The earnings mix remains the key counterweight to the revenue increase. Net income was negative EUR 53 million in Q2 2026, while the company generated EUR 120 million in operating cash flow during the same period, according to the financial figures reported by finanzen.ch.

EUR 21 target sets a higher bar

EQS News reported on October 6, 2026 that Parmantier & Cie. rated Lanxess Buy with a six-month target of EUR 21.00. Against the October 7 price of EUR 12.84, that target stands 63.55 percent above the share price.

The broader analyst picture is less uniform. Zonebourse listed a consensus of Hold from 14 analysts, with an average target of EUR 17.20 and a stated distance of 22.86 percent from its reference price. The same page reported that JPMorgan kept a Neutral rating while cutting its target from EUR 18.00 to EUR 15.00 on September 15, 2026.

Lanxess has scheduled publication of its Q3 2026 statement and an investor conference call for November 5, 2026, according to the company's LANXESS investor relations calendar. The next checkpoint will test whether the Q2 revenue increase develops into stronger operating earnings.
