Brenntag SE Raises Financial Year 2026 Guidance

Brenntag SE has announced its preliminary operating EBITDA for Q2 2026, projecting it to reach approximately EUR 450 million, surpassing current market expectations. This growth is attributed to strong demand and improved margins, despite disruptions due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. In light of this performance, Brenntag has raised its full-year 2026 guidance. The company now anticipates an operating EBITDA between EUR 1,250 and 1,400 million, up from the previous forecast of EUR 1,150 to 1,350 million.

Despite a robust second quarter, Brenntag remains cautious about the remainder of the year due to persistent uncertainties and potential demand fluctuations. The company's comprehensive half-year financial report is scheduled for release on August 12, 2026. Brenntag emphasizes that forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may result in actual outcomes differing materially from projections.
