Henkel AG & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE0006048432) reported preliminary third-quarter sales of EUR 5.713 billion on October 29, 2026, while raising its fiscal 2026 organic growth outlook. The update gives investors a fresh operating benchmark before the full third-quarter report.

Sales growth beats expectations

According to the company's EQS release carried by Placera, group sales increased 11.0 percent nominally from the prior-year quarter. Organic sales growth reached 6.5 percent, exceeding the Vara consensus of 4.1 percent.

Adhesive Technologies generated EUR 3.027 billion of sales, up 11.8 percent nominally, with organic growth of 7.9 percent. Consumer Brands delivered EUR 2.643 billion, up 10.1 percent nominally, while organic growth reached 4.8 percent.

What changed in the 2026 outlook?

Henkel now expects group organic sales growth of 3.0 to 4.0 percent in fiscal 2026, compared with its previous range of 1.5 to 3.5 percent. The Adhesive Technologies outlook is 4.5 to 5.5 percent, while Consumer Brands is expected to grow organically by 1.5 to 2.5 percent.

The updated ranges show that pricing remains the central growth lever. Group price development contributed 5.4 percent in the third quarter, while volumes increased 1.1 percent. Henkel also shifted adjusted earnings per preferred share expectations to a mid-single-digit percentage increase at constant exchange rates from the previous low- to high-single-digit range.

November brings the next test

Henkel will publish further details on third-quarter and nine-month 2026 business development on November 10, 2026, according to the same company release. That report will provide the fuller test of whether the preliminary sales momentum is translating into profitability.
