On July 30, Wacker, a German chemical giant, announced its second quarter results in 2026. In the
first half of this year, Wacker realized business income of 2 billion 923 million euros , an increase of 1.11% over the same period last year; EBITDA ( earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) was 384 million euros , an increase of 64
. In the second quarter, Wacker's revenue reached 1.52 billion euros , an increase of about 7.
The company 's polysilicon business posted revenue growth of 2% in the second quarter, which Wacker said was mainly due to continued growth in sales of semiconductor-grade polysilicon.
However, the company's polysilicon business EBITDA in the second quarter was only 11 million euros , down 67. Wacker explained that this was mainly due to weak demand for solar-grade polysilicon and lower product prices.
In addition, rising energy costs have put further pressure on the company's performance.
However, the company lowered its full-year revenue growth forecast from "high-single-digit growth" to "mid-single-digit growth" . The reason is that the expectation of rising prices of raw materials and energy has weakened , and the market demand is still uncertain . Trade procedures for imports of polysilicon and its derivatives in the United States remain an important risk factor for Wacker's future performance.
