BASF has agreed to sell a majority stake in its coatings business to Carlyle and Qatar Investment Authority for €7.7 billion, retaining a 40% stake and receiving €5.8 billion in cash.
The deal, expected to close in Q2 2026, is part of BASF’s strategy to focus on core chemical operations.
The total value of the coatings division, including debt, is now €8.7 billion, with a 2024 EV/EBITDA multiple of about 13x.
Proceeds may accelerate a 2027–2028 share buyback.
The transaction includes leveraged financing and follows BASF’s earlier sale of its decorative paints business.
