BASF SE confirmed active discussions with banks regarding an initial public offering for its Agricultural Solutions division. The company aims for the unit to be market-ready by mid-2027.
This listing represents a major step in the planned spin-off of the agrichemical business. The move follows an upward revision of the company's 2026 earnings outlook. This adjustment was driven by a strong second quarter performance.
The agricultural unit remains a substantial portion of the BASF portfolio. Its public listing would mark a significant event for the European stock market.
