Solvay enters the final session before its full third-quarter report with investors focused on recovery options linked to its Saudi joint venture. Reuters reported on October 19 that the Middle East conflict and the shutdown of a peroxide plant at the Sadara complex weighed on preliminary results.

Solvay stock traded at 23.58 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 5:58 p.m. CET on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, down 1.42 percent from the 23.92 euros quoted in the November 2 report. The real-time quote of Solvay stock provides the latest trading indication.

Saudi disruption shapes outlook

Solvay's preliminary third-quarter underlying sales reached EUR 1.03 billion, while underlying EBITDA was EUR 173 million. Free cash flow to shareholders from continuing operations amounted to EUR 54 million.

The company said the Middle East conflict reduced third-quarter underlying EBITDA by approximately EUR 25 million, including nearly EUR 15 million from the continued shutdown of the Sadara peroxide plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Solvay is examining contractual mechanisms that could help recover lost profitability through the joint venture.

Solvay lowered its 2026 underlying EBITDA guidance to EUR 720 million to EUR 740 million from EUR 770 million to EUR 850 million. The revised outlook excludes potential revenue or recovery measures from Sadara for the rest of the year and includes free cash flow guidance of EUR 120 million to EUR 150 million, net of approximately EUR 90 million in transformation expenses.

Results are the next catalyst

Complete third-quarter results are scheduled for Wednesday, November 4. The release should show whether the preliminary figures remain unchanged after the quarter-end closing process and provide a fuller view of divisional performance, cash generation and the Saudi operations.
