What the Analysts think about BASF
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for BASF stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of BASF stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
BASF’s second-quarter EBITDA before special items beat expectations, and the company raised its 2026 forecast range to €6.9–7.7 billion from €6.2–7.0 billion. That gives investors evidence of a stronger near-term earnings trend. (Reuters)
BASF says restructuring is improving its cost base and plant competitiveness: it cut about 7,000 jobs since January 2024, while the share of highly competitive production units at Ludwigshafen rose from 78% to 88%. Further gains could help the group compete more effectively. (BASF)
BASF is preparing Agricultural Solutions for potential listing readiness by mid-2027, a route the company says is intended to unlock the business’s full value. A separately valued agricultural business could make that value clearer to investors, although the IPO itself is not yet committed. (BASF)
Free cash flow was negative €0.2 billion in the second quarter, compared with positive €0.5 billion a year earlier, as higher raw-material prices tied up more cash. That is a warning that improved accounting earnings have not yet translated into stronger cash generation. (BASF)
Surface Technologies was the exception to broad second-quarter earnings growth: its earnings fell significantly, which BASF attributed to higher fixed costs. The weakness highlights that recovery remains uneven across the group’s businesses. (BASF)
