What does the target reset mean?

Lanxess delivered a mixed second quarter. Revenue increased 6.48 percent year over year to EUR 1.56 billion, while earnings per share showed a loss of EUR 0.62 compared with a loss of EUR 0.52 in the second quarter of 2025, according to Finanzen.ch on October 26, 2026. For investors, the revenue increase therefore sits alongside continued pressure on profitability.
