Company Guidance -
Q3 2025
During the Wacker Chemie Q2 2025 conference call, the company provided updated guidance due to ongoing trade-related volatility and currency headwinds. Wacker Chemie now forecasts full-year sales between EUR 5.5 billion and EUR 5.9 billion, with an EBITDA range of EUR 500 million to EUR 700 million, reflecting a challenging macroeconomic environment. In Q2, sales reached EUR 1.41 billion, while group EBITDA was EUR 114 million, with the four operating segments contributing EUR 182 million in EBITDA.
