BASF (DE000BASF111) stock costs EUR 52.47 at Lang & Schwarz on October 23, 2026 at 9:47 a.m. CEST, plus 0.19 percent versus the Xetra close of October 22, 2026 (EUR 52.37). Boerse Express reported that Bernstein maintained its Outperform rating and EUR 61.00 price target on October 20, 2026.

Target remains above the market

The EUR 61.00 target stands EUR 8.53 above the Lang & Schwarz price, or 16.26 percent above it. The rating gives BASF a defined reference point ahead of its next quarterly report, while the small intraday premium versus the Xetra close leaves the stock below the analyst target.

Chronology puts the current setup in context. On October 6, 2026, EQS News carried Parmantier and Cie.'s Buy rating and EUR 59.00 six-month target for BASF. On October 9, BASF had bought 6,046,289 shares since the August 3 start of its buyback program, according to Boerse Express. On October 22, BASF announced its next quarterly reporting schedule.

What does the date mean?

BASF will publish its third-quarter 2026 statement on October 28, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. CET and hold its press conference at 10:30 a.m. CET. The schedule makes the upcoming report the next concrete test for the EUR 61.00 analyst view.

Dates shape the next catalyst

The next two dates are October 28, 2026, for the third-quarter statement, and November 23 and 24, 2026, for BASF's Capital Markets Day, both listed on the company's investor-relations calendar. For investors, the key comparison will be whether operating progress and cash generation support the valuation implied by the analyst target.

Stock stays below its yearly high

BASF's market capitalization is EUR 45.3 billion as of October 23, 2026. Its 52-week range is EUR 41.48 to EUR 55.05, placing the Lang & Schwarz price 4.69 percent below the high.
