Fuchs Petrolub (ISIN DE000A3E5D64) was trading at EUR 44.84 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 10:10 a.m. CET. On October 19, 2026, FUCHS SE raised its 2026 EBIT forecast to EUR 500 million after preliminary nine-month results exceeded expectations, according to wallstreetONLINE.

What does the outlook change?

The new EBIT forecast is above FUCHS SE's previous 2026 range of EUR 460 million to EUR 480 million and the EUR 481 million consensus cited in the same October 19 release. The company also specified its full-year revenue forecast at EUR 4.1 billion, compared with an earlier expectation of more than EUR 3.7 billion.

The upgrade rests on preliminary EBIT of EUR 409 million for the first nine months of 2026, versus EUR 326 million in the same period of 2025. Third-quarter EBIT reached EUR 149 million, ahead of EUR 117 million a year earlier and the EUR 116 million consensus estimate, according to MarketScreener.

How much did EBIT improve?

The nine-month EBIT increase of EUR 83 million gives the revised annual target a substantial earnings base, but FUCHS SE cautioned that its fourth quarter is seasonally the weakest period. Pre-buying effects from the second quarter may also weigh on fourth-quarter sales and margins.

October 30 brings full results

FUCHS SE is scheduled to publish its detailed report for the first nine months of 2026 on October 30, 2026. That release should replace the preliminary figures with the complete quarterly presentation.

Stock remains below its yearly high

At EUR 44.84, the stock was EUR 1.76 below its 52-week high of EUR 46.60, a gap of 3.78 percent. MarketScreener listed an average target price of EUR 48.00 from 10 analysts, which is 7.05 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price.
