Umicore stock (ISIN BE0974320526) was trading at EUR 20.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026, at 9:44 a.m. CEST, down 1.66 percent versus the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 20.54. The company enters the new week with its first-half performance and upgraded 2026 outlook as the main operating reference for investors.
On July 31, 2026, Umicore reported adjusted EBITDA of EUR 577 million for the first half of 2026, up 33 percent year over year, and raised adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal year 2026 to slightly more than EUR 1 billion from an earlier outlook to approach EUR 1 billion. The company linked the improvement to operating execution, efficiency measures and favorable metal prices.
Three dated operating markers
On February 20, 2026, Umicore reported adjusted EBITDA of EUR 847 million for fiscal year 2025 and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24 percent, according to the company's investor-relations page. On April 30, 2026, its first-quarter business update and outlook was published. The July 31, 2026, half-year release then supplied the latest quantified step, with adjusted EBITDA up 33 percent to EUR 577 million.
What supports the higher outlook?
The first-half comparison is substantial: adjusted EBITDA increased from EUR 433 million in the first half of 2025 to EUR 577 million in the first half of 2026, while free operating cash flow improved from an outflow of EUR 54 million to EUR 295 million. The Yahoo Finance transcript said management expects the second half to be lower than the first half, with stable metal prices and no major deterioration in the wider environment among its guidance assumptions.
