Olin Corporation (ISIN US6806652052) closed at USD 15.90 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, down 0.38 percent for the session. Olin will replace Qorvo in the S&P SmallCap 600 before trading opens on October 6, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.
Index change meets weak earnings
The index change gives the company a scheduled position in a widely followed small-cap benchmark, but it does not alter Olin's operating results. The stock's October 2 close stood between its 52-week low of USD 14.95 and high of USD 30.46.
Olin reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 1.7419 billion and a diluted EPS loss of USD 0.12. MarketBeat reported that revenue missed the USD 1.81 billion consensus estimate and EPS missed the expected USD 0.13 profit by USD 0.25.
Analysts cut targets as losses persist
Wells Fargo lowered its Olin price target from USD 20 to USD 16 on October 1, 2026, while retaining an Equal Weight rating. Markets Insider said the firm cited pricing declines across the company's Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls business and limited near-term fundamental improvement.
MarketBeat lists a consensus Reduce rating based on one Buy, 11 Hold and three Sell ratings, with an average price target of USD 21.15. That target lies 33.0 percent above the October 2 stock price, making the spread a measure of analyst expectations rather than a company forecast.
Merger remains an operating variable
Olin operates through Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls, Epoxy and Winchester, combining commodity chemicals with ammunition production. The company and Huntsman announced on September 11, 2026, that the U.S. antitrust waiting period for their proposed merger had expired, according to MarketScreener.
The combination of the index change, the proposed merger and the latest loss leaves Olin with several external milestones, while the earnings figures keep operating performance central to the stock story.
Olin Corporation stock and the next milestone
Olin Corporation stock closed at USD 15.90 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, with a daily change of minus 0.38 percent.
