Brenntag SE is a global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution, operating within the Basic Materials sector. As a key player in the specialty chemicals industry, the company currently holds a market capitalization of 7.32 Billion EUR. It connects chemical manufacturers and users in a value-adding partnership, serving a wide range of end-markets.
Based on our technical scoring system, Brenntag SE receives a Sell rating with a total score of -2. The primary driver for this negative outlook is the long-term trend, as the current price of EUR50.70 is below the 200-day simple moving average (EUR53.11), contributing a score of -2. Furthermore, volume analysis supports this bearish view, with the On-Balance Volume (OBV) trending below its moving average, indicating distribution pressure (-1 point). While there is a slight positive signal from the MACD histogram, which is just above zero (+1 point), it is not strong enough to reverse the outlook. Both the RSI (53.27) and ADX (10.62) indicators are in neutral territory, suggesting a lack of strong momentum or a defined trend at present.
The technical 'Sell' rating presents a mixed picture when contrasted with the company's fundamentals. Brenntag recently reported a massive earnings surprise of 120.0% on an EPS of 0.7, a very strong sign of operational performance. Its P/E ratio of 17.48 is moderate for the industry. However, the reported dividend yield of 409.0% appears anomalously high and should be verified by investors. While the long-term price trend is currently negative, the impressive earnings beat suggests that the underlying business is performing well, creating a potential divergence that traders should monitor closely leading up to the next earnings report scheduled for 12/03/2026.
