Eastman Chemical (EMN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Eastman Chemical has successfully transitioned approximately 70% of its portfolio to higher-margin specialty businesses, which is expected to enhance earnings consistency moving forward. The company is poised for continued strong performance due to expected improvements in specialty business pricing and productivity gains. Additionally, there is optimism surrounding potential strength in key segments such as Additives and Functional Products and Advanced Materials, alongside favorable developments in global energy prices and macroeconomic sentiment.
Bears say
Eastman Chemical has seen a reduction in its commodity exposure from approximately 17% in 2010 to about 13% currently, due to its strategic focus on specializing in higher-margin products. However, despite these improvements, the company's stock trades at a low multiple compared to its peers, indicating potential challenges in investor confidence or market valuation. Additionally, guidance for Q3 has been lowered following a stronger Q2, reflecting ongoing operational difficulties and anticipated declines in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
