Neste Oyj stock (ISIN FI0009013296) ended at EUR 33.30 on Nasdaq Helsinki on September 9, 2026, up 1.03 percent from the previous close. Reuters reported on September 9, 2026, that Brent oil topped USD 100 for the first time since July, a move that matters for a fuel maker and renewable products group.

Oil moves back into view

The broader market tone was weaker on the same day: Reuters said the pan-European STOXX 600 was down 0.7 percent at 645.34 points as oil and geopolitical tensions pressured risk appetite. Neste's Helsinki close still held above the EUR 33 mark, with the session ending at 17:29:59 local time on the Investing.com quote page.

For investors, the key number is the spread between that EUR 33.30 close and the oil backdrop. Higher crude prices can support refining margins, but they also sharpen attention on how quickly Neste can convert that environment into reported earnings.

Latest reported figures

In its first-quarter 2026 release, Neste said comparable EBITDA was EUR 217 million, down from EUR 379 million a year earlier, while revenue was EUR 4.52 billion. The company also said comparable return on capital employed was 5.5 percent in the quarter, which gives a dated operating benchmark for the stock.

That comparison is important: EBITDA fell by EUR 162 million year on year, and the margin profile remains the central question for the next reporting step. Investors are watching whether the fuel-price backdrop helps the company's renewable fuels and oil products businesses narrow that gap.

What to watch next

From the same reporting cycle, Neste also said renewable products volumes and pricing were still under pressure, and that detail remains a useful lens for the share price on a day when the sector is linked to oil. The stock's latest close at EUR 33.30 leaves the market focused on execution rather than just the commodity move.
