Assessing Chemours (CC) Valuation After Recent Short-Term Share Price Rebound

Chemours (CC) has quietly outperformed the broader materials sector over the past week, even though the stock is still down sharply over the past year, drawing value focused investors back for another look.

See our latest analysis for Chemours.

With the share price now at $12.96 and a 7 day share price return of 3.93 percent after a tough year to date decline of 22.44 percent, it looks like sentiment is stabilising rather than accelerating, especially given the 1 year total shareholder return is still down 36.77 percent.

If Chemours has you reassessing cyclical names, it could be a good moment to broaden your watchlist and explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

But with the shares still trading at a steep discount to some valuation estimates, even as earnings remain volatile, is Chemours now an overlooked value play, or is the market simply bracing for weaker growth ahead?

Most Popular Narrative: 27.1% Undervalued

With Chemours closing at $12.96 versus a most-followed fair value of $17.78, the narrative leans toward a sizable upside if its thesis plays out.

Secular demand growth for advanced materials tied to electrification, renewables, data centers, and energy storage is generating incremental sales in higher-value applications for APM; ongoing portfolio optimization and pricing improvements in these segments are structurally enhancing net margins and improving earnings quality.

Curious how modest revenue growth, a sharp margin swing into profit, and a low future earnings multiple can still justify this upside? The narrative connects those levers in a way the current share price does not. Want to see how far those projections stretch conventional chemicals valuations?

Result: Fair Value of $17.78 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, persistent PFAS litigation and tighter environmental regulations could still pressure Chemours margins, cash flows, and ultimately challenge the current undervaluation thesis.
