LyondellBasell Industries N.V. stock (ISIN NL0009434992) last closed at USD 64.25 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 17, 2026, roughly in the middle of its 52-week trading range and slightly below recent intraday highs, giving investors a snapshot of a consolidating share price.
Q2 2026 figures frame the investment case
According to Yahoo Finance, LyondellBasell reported its latest quarterly results for Q2 2026 in July 2026, giving the market an updated view on revenue, earnings and margins for the period ended June 30, 2026. In that interim report, the company detailed Q2 2026 revenue and net income alongside segment performance in its chemicals and refining businesses, figures that investors use as the current fundamental reference until Q3 numbers are released.
Q2 2026 results followed the most recent full-year report for fiscal year 2025, which showed how LyondellBasell managed its cash flow and balance sheet over the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, a period still within the 24-month freshness window for annual figures as of September 18, 2026. Historical fiscal year 2024 metrics now serve mainly as a comparison base, as investors focus on how Q2 2026 trends stack up versus fiscal year 2025 performance in areas such as EBITDA, net margin and leverage.
Stock trades mid-range in 52-week context
Per data from Robinhood on September 17, 2026, LyondellBasell shares traded intraday between a low of USD 63.52 and a high of USD 65.37, closing at USD 64.25, which put the stock about 1.1% above the day’s low and 1.7% below the day’s high. This intraday range illustrates a relatively tight trading band, suggesting limited short-term volatility despite broader market moves.
The same Robinhood overview shows a 52-week low of USD 41.58 and a 52-week high of USD 83.94 for LyondellBasell stock, meaning the September 17, 2026 closing price of USD 64.25 stands roughly in the middle of that range and more than USD 20.00 below the 52-week peak. From an investor perspective, the distance to the 52-week high highlights both the recovery from last year’s low and the remaining upside implied by the historical peak, while the gain from USD 41.58 to USD 64.25 reflects a substantial improvement versus the trough over the past twelve months.
According to the same Robinhood data, LyondellBasell’s market capitalization is calculated at the current share price based on the total number of shares outstanding, giving investors a sense of the company’s size relative to peers in the global chemicals and materials sector. Trading volume figures for September 17, 2026 further indicate how actively the stock changed hands, which can matter for liquidity-sensitive investors.

MarketBeat’s overview on September 17, 2026 shows the fair market value price and tracks how LyondellBasell shares have performed since prior points in time, noting that the stock has risen significantly from earlier levels and is now trading above prices seen in previous months. For investors, the combination of Q2 2026 stability and the current mid-range price positioning means that upside and downside scenarios are closely tied to future margins and any forthcoming guidance changes.
Risk factors cited by analysts in such overviews often include sensitivity to global economic growth, commodity price swings and regulatory developments affecting chemical and refining operations. As a result, even with solid Q2 2026 figures, LyondellBasell’s valuation can react sharply to changes in expectations for industrial activity, energy markets or environmental regulation, all of which influence revenue and profitability trajectories beyond 2026.
