Symrise stock rises 2.79 percent as buyback supports shares

Symrise AG (ISIN DE000SYM9999) closed at EUR 91.50 on Xetra on September 21, 2026, gaining 2.79 percent from the prior close of EUR 89.00. The move outpaced the DAX, which rose 1.07 percent to 25,575.01 points on the same trading day.

Buyback adds a concrete signal

The clearest company-specific figure was the repurchase activity reported for September 14 through September 18, 2026. Symrise acquired 142,500 of its own shares during that period, according to Ad Hoc News on September 22, 2026.

The comparison with the index gives the price move more context: Symrise outperformed the DAX by 1.72 percentage points on September 21, 2026. That relative performance and the buyback figure form a more specific explanation for the stock reaction than the broader market gain alone.

The same overview lists a last close of EUR 56.35, which conflicts with the Xetra close of EUR 91.50 reported for September 21, 2026, so the two quote figures should not be combined into one price series.
