K+S stock reports 12 percent revenue growth in Q2 2026

K+S stock (ISIN DE000KSAG888) stood at EUR 16.260 on Xetra on September 22, 2026, while second-quarter revenue reached EUR 978 million, up 12 percent from the prior-year period. The quarterly figures and higher 2026 guidance give the fertilizer producer a concrete earnings benchmark for the rest of the year.

Q2 EBITDA rises 60 percent

K+S reported operating EBITDA of EUR 176 million for Q2 2026, an increase of 60 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to Investing.com. The result exceeded the market expectation cited in the company release, while adjusted free cash flow improved year over year, K+S said in its Q2 and H1 2026 release.

The comparison is important because the revenue increase was smaller than the EBITDA gain. That spread points to improved operating leverage in the quarter, although the published figures do not separate the effect by division in the cited market summary.

Guidance reaches EUR 760 million

K+S raised its 2026 operating EBITDA forecast to a range of EUR 680 million to EUR 760 million, a target range that K+S described as in line with the full-year market expectation. For investors, the upper end of the range now provides the key earnings reference after the 60 percent quarterly EBITDA increase.

Analyst support remains measured. DZ Bank kept its Buy rating and a fair value of EUR 16.75 in a research note dated September 24, 2026, as reported by Head Topics. The fair value is only one external reference, so the quarterly earnings trend and the guidance range remain the more direct company-specific measures.

K+S stock stays near EUR 16

K+S stock stood at EUR 16.260 on Xetra on September 22, 2026. The price reference sits below the DZ Bank fair value of EUR 16.75, while the Q2 revenue of EUR 978 million and operating EBITDA of EUR 176 million define the latest reported operating picture.
