NewMarket Corp (US6449141019) stock opened at 897.87 USD on September 1, 2026, and the company was valued at 8.26 billion USD with a 19.32 P/E ratio, according to a market update published the same day.
The market tone was softer on September 1, 2026, after US indexes opened lower, and NewMarket traded within that risk-off backdrop as investors watched oil prices and yields. A beta of 0.56 points to lower volatility than the broader market.
Valuation stays in view
Zonebourse showed the last close at 897.70 USD on August 31, 2026, down 1.86 percent on the day and 4.16 percent over five sessions. That makes the 897.87 USD opening price on September 1, 2026 a very tight start to the session.
The near-term comparison is the key point for investors: the stock moved from 897.70 USD to 897.87 USD, while the five-day change remained negative at 4.16 percent. The market cap of 8.26 billion USD also keeps NewMarket in large-cap territory.
Latest reported numbers
NewMarket reported 2025 revenue of 2.69 billion USD, compared with 2.78 billion USD in 2024. Net income was 302.8 million USD in 2025, versus 316.3 million USD a year earlier.
Those figures show a modest decline in both sales and profit year over year, while the latest valuation still leaves the stock at 19.32 times earnings. For retail investors, that mix of slower top-line growth and a mid-teens multiple is the central tension.

Closing price view
As of September 1, 2026, NewMarket stock traded at 897.87 USD after a 897.70 USD close on August 31, 2026. The 8.26 billion USD market capitalization and 19.32 P/E ratio keep the valuation front and center.
