DOW JONES–At the end of the week, Wacker Chemie shares are in demand in after-hours trading. Wacker Chemie benefited from advanced customer orders in the first quarter of 2026 in light of the Iran war and raised its sales forecast for the full year. According to Wacker, EBITDA is expected to be around 173 million euros, which means that Wacker Chemie exceeded its own forecast of 140 to 160 million euros. Sales amounted to around 1.41 billion euros. Due to the ongoing uncertainties and fluctuating order intake, the company is maintaining its EBITDA forecast for the full year, but increased the sales estimate. The reason for this is that the group is passing on to customers higher raw material and energy prices as a result of the Middle East conflict. On Tradegate, the share climbed 2.9 percent.
