How BASF compares this week
The latest available Frankfurt quotation shows BASF shares at EUR 50.80 as of 06/03/2026, 17:45 CET, leaving the stock below its levels from early spring. More recent real-time indications from other venues point to prices around the high-EUR-40s range.
Sector peers such as Covestro and Evonik have also seen uneven trading, reflecting cautious sentiment on Europe’s industrial cycle and energy costs. Against this backdrop, BASF’s muted share performance fits a broader pattern of consolidation across the region’s chemicals names.
Weekly sector and peer-group view
For the week, European chemicals indices have traded sideways to slightly lower, with investors weighing soft demand indicators against easing input costs. BASF, as a DAX heavyweight, remains closely linked to expectations for German and eurozone manufacturing activity.
Analysts continue to flag structural headwinds from high energy prices in Europe and competition from producers in the US and Asia. At the same time, BASF’s diversification across basic chemicals, performance products and agricultural solutions provides some buffer against single-segment swings.
The product behind the stock
BASF generates revenue across a broad chemicals portfolio, from basic petrochemicals and plastics to coatings and crop-protection products. Recent examples include innovative automotive materials, such as a fiber-based 3D armrest developed with Japan’s Wacoal using a specialized BASF plastic for improved recyclability.
