Lanxess shares jump nearly 20% after better-than-expected Q3 and positive cash development

Lanxess reports an adjusted earnings increase of about 11% to €139m in the third quarter and revenue growth of almost 10% to around €1.47bn. Free cash flow swung from -€14m to +€48m, but a net loss of €70m remained due to high write-downs. Management guides adjusted EBITDA for 2026 at the upper end of the €450–500m range; the Q4 outlook is above pessimistic market expectations. In addition to the results, short-covering and a technical move above the 50-day line likely helped drive the sharp share-price jump. » More on deraktionaer.de
