BASF plans a potential listing of its Agricultural Solutions unit by 2027 to unlock value, aiming to raise the unit's share of seed revenue from 22% to around 25%, and to strengthen its presence in Asia, where it now generates only 11.6% of sales. (Reuters)
BASF reaffirmed its full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA outlook of €8.0–8.4 billion, supported by strong Q1 performance with adjusted EBITDA of €2.63 billion, demonstrating resilience in a tough trade environment. (Reuters)
BASF lowered its full-year 2025 EBITDA guidance to €7.3–7.7 billion from €8.0–8.4 billion, pointing to weaker global GDP growth and U.S. tariffs that have reduced customer demand. (Reuters)
BASF’s adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2025 fell 3.2% year-on-year to €2.63 billion; net income dropped 41% to €808 million due to losses from divestments and persistent operational challenges. (Reuters)
