BASF Lines Up Banks For A €20 Billion Frankfurt Listing

BASF's Agricultural Solutions division, the crop-chemicals arm valued near €20 billion, is the target after November's Frankfurt listing pledge.

  • BASF Agricultural Solutions, the crop-protection and seed unit, is the IPO candidate.
  • Frankfurt was named the listing venue in BASF's November 2025 press release.
  • A roughly €20 billion valuation would make this one of Europe's largest IPOs.

Why it matters: A parent company selling off a division it spent decades building admits growth stopped there.
