Clariant stock (ISIN CH0012142631) closed at CHF 10.48 on September 18, 2026, down 0.66 percent on the Swiss Exchange, with volume at 3,624,967 shares.

Revenue and margin backdrop

For investors, the key question is whether the latest reported half-year numbers can still support that move. Clariant reported revenue of CHF 2.03 billion for H1 2026, with EBITDA before exceptional items of CHF 314 million and an EBITDA margin of 15.5 percent, according to its half-year 2026 figures.

That compares with CHF 2.13 billion of revenue in H1 2025, so sales were down 4.7 percent year on year while EBITDA before exceptional items improved in margin terms from 14.8 percent to 15.5 percent.

Trading near the high

The share price closed on September 18, 2026 at CHF 10.48, which leaves it close to the 52-week high of CHF 10.60 and above the 52-week low of CHF 7.16. The market capitalization stood at CHF 3.43 billion on that same market snapshot.

For a chemical group, that gap to the yearly high is the main chart signal now: the stock is priced for continued delivery on earnings and cash generation rather than a sudden step change.
