Evotec SE released preliminary nine-month results for 2026 that exceeded market expectations, reaching approximately 465 million euros, though analysts remain divided on the sustainability of this turnaround; while Deutsche Bank maintained a ‘Hold’ rating, RBC issued an ‘Outperform’ rating with a high price target. The company has confirmed its previously lowered annual guidance. In the hydrogen sector, Nel ASA reported a 63 percent drop in third-quarter revenue to 112 million NOK, attributed to a collapse in its alkaline division, despite a 65 percent revenue increase in its PEM division and a 340 percent surge in total orders.
