What the Analysts think about Wacker Chemie AG
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Wacker Chemie AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
In Q1 2025, the silicones division delivered robust growth, with sales up 5% and EBITDA up 33% year-on-year driven by specialty products in health and electronics applications.
Wacker Chemie forecasts polysilicon sales of €1.0–1.3 billion in 2025, up from €949 million in 2024, reflecting strong demand for semiconductor-grade polysilicon.
The company proposed a dividend of €2.50 per share for 2024, maintaining an approximately 50% payout ratio, signaling confidence in cash flows and its financial position.
Q1 2025 EBITDA fell 26% to €127 million, primarily due to sharp drops in solar-grade polysilicon volumes, highlighting volatility in the solar segment.
In July, Wacker Chemie lowered its full-year 2025 sales guidance to €5.5–5.9 billion and EBITDA to €500–€700 million, pointing to prolonged macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty and weak customer demand.
Newly imposed 15% U.S. tariffs on EU chemical exports are expected to put pressure on Wacker’s profitability, particularly given its significant U.S. market exposure, while a stronger euro further erodes euro-denominated earnings from international sales.
