Hattorf project sets a dated marker

The filing concerns a woodland conversion near the Stoeckig-Ruppertshoehe protected area.

The company had submitted the related nature-conservation application on August 19, 2026, according to K+S.

Three recent company milestones

On August 11, 2026, second-quarter revenue reached EUR 978.30 million, up 12.29 percent from EUR 871.20 million a year earlier, while EBITDA stood at EUR 176.00 million, according to Investing.com. On September 28, 2026, Berenberg lifted its target from EUR 11.40 to EUR 13.00 while retaining a Sell rating, as MarketScreener reported. On September 30, 2026, K+S filed the Hattorf measure, creating the latest dated company event.

What does the target change mean?

Berenberg's new target is 2.52 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, calculated from EUR 13.00 and EUR 12.68. The contrast is important: the target increased, but the Sell rating remained unchanged. For the operating picture, the next test is the third-quarter report, where expectations for potash prices and margins will meet the company's raised 2026 EBITDA guidance of EUR 680.00 million to EUR 760.00 million, according to Investing.com.

Next reporting date is November 10

K+S is scheduled to publish its third-quarter financial report on November 10, 2026, with a conference call afterward, according to Stock-World. That report will provide the next quantified update on the revenue trend and the EUR 680.00 million to EUR 760.00 million EBITDA outlook.
