Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

The following is the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") from continuing operations attributable to Ashland. Stock appreciation rights and warrants available to purchase shares outstanding for each reporting period whose exercise price was greater than the average market price of Ashland common stock for each applicable period were not included in the computation of income (loss) from continuing operations per diluted share because the effect of these instruments would be antidilutive. The total number of these shares outstanding was approximately 2 million at both June 30, 2026 and 2025. The majority of these shares are for warrants with a strike price of $128.66.

(a)
As a result of the loss from continuing operations attributable to Ashland during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the effect of the share-based awards convertible to common stock would be antidilutive and have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. Convertible shares for each of the applicable periods was less than $1 million.
