BASF SE (ISIN DE000BASF111) closed at EUR 51.36 on Xetra on September 21, 2026, down 0.5 percent from the previous session. The price was EUR 3.69, or 6.7 percent, below the 52-week high of EUR 55.05, giving investors a clear measure of the stock's recent distance from its peak.

Stock closes below yearly high

The Xetra session ranged from EUR 51.22 to EUR 52.13 on September 21, 2026, while 1,326,488 shares changed hands. The combination of a 0.5 percent daily decline and a close 6.7 percent below the 52-week high places the immediate focus on price consolidation rather than a fresh breakout.

According to Ad-hoc-news on September 22, 2026, the previous close was accompanied by the same EUR 51.22 to EUR 52.13 intraday range and volume of 1,326,488 shares. That places the session turnover at a measurable level while leaving the share price below the recent EUR 55.05 high.

Market value remains substantial

BASF's market capitalization was EUR 45,839,938,343 as of September 21, 2026, according to the quoted market snapshot. The stock's 52-week high of EUR 55.05 compared with the EUR 51.36 close represents a EUR 3.69 gap, or 6.7 percent, a concrete historical reference for assessing the latest price.

The trading record also provides a second comparison: the September 21 close of EUR 51.36 was EUR 0.26 below the previous session's level, equivalent to the reported 0.5 percent decline. The price therefore ended the session closer to its intraday low of EUR 51.22 than to its high of EUR 52.13.
