What does the target signal?

The EUR 21.00 target lies 66.67 percent above the EUR 12.60 Lang & Schwarz price. Parmantier's report, published on October 6, 2026, frames the 2027 chemicals cycle around restructuring, operating leverage, capacity rationalization, portfolio separation, deleveraging and selective consolidation, according to TradingView.

Second-quarter growth came with a loss

Lanxess revenue rose 6.48 percent year over year to EUR 1.56 billion in the second quarter of 2026 from EUR 1.47 billion. Loss per share widened to EUR 0.62 from EUR 0.52 in the year-earlier quarter, according to finanzen.ch. The combination gives the new target a demanding test: revenue improved, but the loss indicates that volume growth has not yet translated into positive per-share earnings.
