Lanxess stock traded at 12.93 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:02 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 1.30 percent below the Xetra close of 13.10 euros on Tuesday, November 10. The closing reference is supported by Yahoo Finance, which showed the Xetra price at the November 10 close.

Late trading reverses recent strength

The move leaves the stock 1.52 percent below the 13.13-euro Lang & Schwarz price cited in the previous report on Tuesday, November 10, at 12:14 CET. That comparison is separate from Wednesday's daily move against the November 10 Xetra close.

LANXESS reported stronger third-quarter results on November 5. Sales rose 9.6 percent year over year to 1.467 billion euros, while EBITDA before exceptionals increased 11.2 percent to 139 million euros. Free cash flow turned positive at 48 million euros from negative 14 million euros a year earlier.

Guidance meets uneven demand

Management expects full-year 2026 EBITDA before exceptionals at the upper end of a 450 million to 500 million euro range and anticipates positive free cash flow in the fourth quarter. Price increases and cost reductions supported the quarter, but demand has not recovered broadly across important end markets.

Specialty Additives delivered the strongest earnings improvement. Consumer Protection and Advanced Intermediates remained more uneven, with energy, transport, construction and agricultural conditions weighing on profitability.

For investors, the key question is whether pricing and savings can sustain earnings through the final quarter while demand remains subdued. The company serves the DAX market environment.
