BASF strengthens its position in the market and achieves major progress on restructuring and portfolio measures
BASF was able to increase earnings in nearly all segments in the second quarter of 2026. Stronger prices and higher volumes contributed to this rise. “We further strengthened BASF’s position in the market and achieved major progress with our restructuring as well as portfolio measures,” said BASF CEO Dr. Markus Kamieth when presenting the company’s half-year results, together with CFO Dr. Dirk Elvermann. On July 15, 2026, BASF had already pre-released preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2026 because EBITDA before special items of €2.4 billion significantly exceeded average analysts’ expectations. BASF raised its earnings outlook for the full year 2026.
