K+S

Barclays begins coverage of K+S with an 'Equal Weight' rating and a €18.40 price target. The bank considers the valuation not overly ambitious but sees no reason to re-rate the stock due to a flood of new potash fertilizer supply, rising gas costs and weak cash flow. Barclays also starts coverage of Yara with an 'Underweight' rating and views developments in nitrogen fertilizer prices as the key factor there. » Altro su finanzen.net

K+S increases its operating EBITDA forecast for 2026 to €680–760 million after a strong second quarter in which revenue and EBITDA rose significantly. DZ Bank has upgraded its rating from hold to buy and set a price target of €16.75. The broad analyst consensus, however, remains neutral (5 buy, 4 hold, 4 sell), due to uncertainty about the mid‑term development of the potash price and temporary production problems caused by low Werra water levels. Management now sees free cash flow in the mid‑ to high‑double‑digit millions of euros and removes 2028 as the target year for the Werra‑2060 project to move to dry processing. » Altro su de.investing.com
