Henkel AG & Co KGaA
Henkel is a German consumer and industrial goods company best known for making adhesives, sealants, and household products. On the consumer side, it sells laundry detergents, fabric care, and other home and personal care brands that are used in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms around the world. The company also has a larger industrial business that sells adhesives and surface-treatment products to manufacturers. These products are used in cars, electronics, packaging, construction, and consumer goods, where customers need materials that hold, bond, protect, or improve production processes. Henkel makes money by selling branded products to shoppers and by supplying specialty chemicals and adhesive systems to business customers. Its business model is different because it sits in two places at once: it sells everyday consumer brands, and it also supplies hard-to-replace materials that are built into other companies’ products and factories.

Sales growth: Henkel delivered 1.7% organic sales growth in Q1, with both business units contributing and volumes positive for the third straight quarter.
Guidance: Full-year 2026 guidance was left unchanged despite higher commodity and logistics pressure linked to the Middle East conflict.
Margins: Management said it is offsetting higher input costs with supplier renegotiations, pricing actions, and tighter cost control.
M&A: Henkel is pushing hard on acquisitions, having signed 5 deals worth around EUR 1.6 billion of annual sales and already closed 3 of them.
Shareholder returns: The EUR 1 billion share buyback was completed by the end of March, and Henkel said it returned almost EUR 2 billion to shareholders over the last 12 months.
Consumer strength: Hair remained a standout in Consumer Brands, while laundry stayed more challenged because of weak sentiment and intense competition.
