Fuchs raises 2026 EBIT forecast to EUR 460 million-EUR 480 million

• Fuchs lifted its 2026 EBIT outlook to EUR 460 million–EUR 480 million from about EUR 450 million; 2025 EBIT was EUR 435 million.
• Sales forecast unchanged at a level significantly above last year’s EUR 3.7 billion; H1 sales seen at EUR 2 billion vs EUR 1.8 billion.
• H1 EBIT expected at EUR 260 million vs EUR 209 million; Q2 EBIT seen at EUR 135 million vs EUR 101 million, above EUR 108 million consensus.
• Q2 strength tied to robust demand, pre-buying linked to the Middle East conflict, competitor supply constraints; margin pressure flagged from higher raw materials.
• Management cautioned H1 performance cannot be extrapolated into H2 due to fading pre-buying effects, weaker volumes, inflation-driven pricing.
