Umicore stock (ISIN BE0974320526) traded at EUR 18.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 5:47 p.m. CEST. The company had lifted its adjusted EBITDA outlook above EUR 1 billion for fiscal year 2026 in its half-year communication dated July 31, 2026, according to Umicore.

First-half earnings reset expectations

The guidance change followed a stronger first half. Adjusted EBITDA rose 33.00 percent from the first half of 2025 to EUR 577.00 million in the first half of 2026, while the adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 24.00 percent to 30.00 percent. The figures were reported in Umicore's half-year results published on July 31, 2026.

Management linked the improvement to higher volumes, efficiency measures and favorable prices for precious and minor metals. The result also provides a quantified counterweight to the lower earnings contribution expected in the second half, when the exceptional conditions in the first half were not expected to continue.

Stock price remains the immediate signal

The euro quotation was EUR 18.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 5:47 p.m. CEST, in the after-hours phase following the Xetra session. The quote is the market's latest German trading indication for the stock, while Umicore's primary listing is on Euronext Brussels.

The investor-relations page identifies Umicore as a circular materials technology and recycling group. Its activities span materials science, chemistry and metallurgy, giving the upgraded outlook a direct connection to operating performance rather than to a scheduled corporate event alone.

What dates matter next?

Simply Wall St listed February 19, 2027 as the next fiscal-year 2026 results date for Umicore, and March 26, 2027 as the publication date for the annual report. The dates provide the next formal checkpoints for testing whether the higher adjusted EBITDA outlook is being delivered.

Guidance sets the investor benchmark

The central comparison is between EUR 577.00 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first half and the full-year target above EUR 1 billion. That target requires the second half to add more than EUR 423.00 million, based on the reported first-half figure, while management had cautioned that the second half would be lower than the first.

Price and outlook

Umicore's current market story combines a higher earnings objective with a concrete reporting test in February 2027. The next results will indicate how much of the first-half improvement can be carried into the rest of the year.
