Henkel reports preliminary Q3 figures showing nominal sales growth of about 11% to around €5.71 billion and organic growth of 6.5%, driven by both business units and all regions. Adhesive Technologies grew organically by roughly 8%, Consumer Brands by about 5%. The board increases the 2026 forecast to organic sales growth of 3–4% (previously 1.5–3.5%); for the rest of the year Henkel expects a slightly positive effect from acquisitions/divestments and a low single-digit negative currency impact; detailed Q3 figures will follow on 10 November 2026. » More on finanzen.net

DZ BANK reduces the fair value for Henkel from €88 to €84 but keeps the rating at "buy." Analyst Thomas Maul expects a convincing third quarter with positive volume and price trends in both business units and sees the improved growth and margin profile as undervalued by the market. The share dipped slightly and was trading at around €73.9 on the day of the report; it is up about 9.8% year-to-date in 2026. » More on finanzen.net
