Salzgitter stock (ISIN DE0006202005) was trading at EUR 43.82 on Xetra at 9:34 a.m. CEST on October 8, 2026, down 3.86 percent from the prior close of EUR 45.58. The intraday range was EUR 43.52 to EUR 45.00, giving investors a clear measure of the sharp move in the current session.

Revenue fell in Q2

The latest reported quarter covered the period ended June 30, 2026. According to finanzen.ch on September 8, 2026, revenue reached EUR 2.24 billion, down 3.96 percent from EUR 2.34 billion in the year-earlier quarter.

The same Q2 report showed adjusted earnings per share of negative EUR 0.75, compared with negative EUR 1.02 a year earlier. That comparison points to a smaller per-share loss even as sales declined, leaving the quality of the recovery central to the next results release.

Analysts see higher value

According to Boerse Express on October 3, 2026, six analyst houses rated Salzgitter Buy or Hold, with four Buy ratings and two Hold ratings. The median 12-month price target was EUR 65.00, while published targets ranged from EUR 56.00 to EUR 70.00.

The consensus is set against a stock that remains well below its 52-week high of EUR 67.60. The current quote is also above the 52-week low of EUR 26.66, so the October 8 decline sits inside a wide annual trading range rather than at an extreme low.

November brings the next test

Salzgitter's investor-relations calendar lists the nine-month 2026 report for November 12, 2026, including an audiocast on the same date, according to the Salzgitter investor-relations page. The report will provide the next periodized test of revenue, earnings and cash generation after the Q2 loss.

For investors, the contrast is specific: Q2 revenue fell 3.96 percent year over year, while adjusted EPS improved from negative EUR 1.02 to negative EUR 0.75. The next report must show whether that earnings improvement can continue while the steel market remains exposed to pricing and demand swings.

Stock trades inside wide range

Salzgitter's market capitalization stood at EUR 2.4 billion on October 8, 2026, while trading volume reached 13,763 shares at the cited timestamp. The stock was trading 35.17 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 67.60, calculated from the Xetra quote and the current 52-week range.
