Düngemittel- und Salzkonzern: Starke Kalinachfrage verhilft K+S zu höherem Ausblick

Frankfurt - K+S, a fertilizer and salt group, has significantly raised its outlook following strong demand for potassium chloride and higher prices. The company, led by CEO Christian Meyer, announced on Wednesday that it has once again exceeded its annual targets with a double-digit increase in the second quarter. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) grew to 176 million euros in the most recent quarter, compared to 110 million euros in the same period last year, surpassing analyst expectations of around 149 million euros.
Sales rose by nearly 12% to 978 million euros, with projections for 2026 now ranging between 680 and 760 million euros, up from the previous 630 to 730 million euros (630 million euros for 2025). Despite a first-half free cash flow that fell short of market expectations at 101 million euros, it improved considerably compared to the previous year.
