BASF Q1 2025 Earnings: Adjusted EBIT €1.66B, EPS €1.57; Maintains Full-Year EBITDA Guidance Amid Tariff Uncertainty

BASF SE reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings with revenues of €17.40 billion, slightly below the estimated €17.6 billion. The company's adjusted EBIT reached €1.66 billion, marginally above the €1.65 billion forecast, while adjusted EBITDA stood at €2.63 billion, surpassing the estimated €2.61 billion. Earnings per share were €1.57, exceeding the expected €1.38. Despite a decline in earnings attributed to subdued demand in the chemicals sector and escalating trade tensions, BASF reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance between €8.00 billion and €8.40 billion, above the consensus estimate of €7.98 billion. The German chemical giant cautioned about the high uncertainty stemming from U.S. tariff policies but maintained its financial targets for 2025 amid challenging market conditions.
