BASF stock last traded higher on September 21, 2026, with the U.S.-listed shares of BASF SE (ISIN DE000BASF111) showing no substantiated U.S. close in the search set, so the latest U.S.-dollar quote available for the session was the Nasdaq-linked last trade at USD 51.97 on September 21, 2026, with the prior close at USD 51.61 on September 18, 2026. That left the move at 0.70 percent.

MDI plan drives the session

As Reuters reported on September 21, 2026, BASF is weighing a new methylene diphenyl diisocyanate complex in India. The share traded at USD 51.25 at the open, reached an intraday high near USD 52.03, and was up 0.70 percent at the latest quote. Against the prior close, that left the stock 0.36 dollars higher.

On Xetra, the home market closed 0.70 percent higher at 11:35 a.m. ET, and the difference reflects the exchange rate. BASF published the India investment release on September 21, 2026, and Deutsche Boerse carried BASF's share buyback update the same day, covering 644,178 shares repurchased from September 14 to September 18, 2026.

After-hours and next session

The extended U.S. session was still running after the bell, so the later evening reaction had not settled in the available hits. BASF's next stated quarterly report is due on October 28, 2026, and that date is the next company-specific event in view. The stock also remains sensitive to follow-up coverage of the India project review.
