BASF stock (ISIN DE000BASF111) was trading at EUR 51.92 on Xetra on September 24, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CEST, down 0.50 percent from the previous close. The price stood 5.69 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 55.05, giving investors a clear measure of the remaining distance to the yearly peak.

Q2 revenue reaches EUR 17.2 billion

BASF generated EUR 17.2 billion in revenue in Q2 2026, an increase of 16 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to Stock-World. The reported growth was supported by an 11.5 percent increase in prices and a 7.3 percent rise in sales volumes.

EBITDA before special items reached EUR 2.4 billion in Q2 2026, up EUR 854 million from the prior-year period, the same report said. The comparison matters because the operating improvement was considerably smaller than the EUR 4.1 billion quarterly net income figure, which included EUR 3.5 billion after tax from the coatings business sale.

India project adds a strategic test

On September 21, 2026, BASF said it was assessing a potential MDI production complex in Dahej, Gujarat. The project is linked to customer demand in India and remains at the feasibility-study stage, so its investment effect is a future strategic issue rather than a current earnings contribution.

BASF is also preparing an Agricultural Solutions IPO targeted for mid-2027, according to the company investor page dated September 14, 2026. The planned listing could sharpen the valuation of the crop-protection business while narrowing the operating portfolio of the chemical group.

Buyback supports capital returns

BASF's buyback program has a maximum volume of EUR 1.0 billion and is scheduled to run from August 2026 through April 2027. Between September 14 and September 18, BASF repurchased 644,178 shares for EUR 33,568,447.22, according to the company's transaction table.

Stock remains below yearly high

With a market capitalization of EUR 44,768,266,049 as of September 24, 2026, BASF stock remains materially below its yearly high while the Q2 revenue comparison shows a stronger top line. The next market test is whether operating earnings can sustain the improvement after the disposal-related contribution to net income.
