Huntsman: Q1 Is Further Evidence The Bottom Is In
Summary Huntsman remains a buy, with sequential improvement expected as global supply tightens and end markets gradually recover. Q1 showed resilient volumes, margin expansion in Advanced Materials, and early benefits from cost-cutting and Middle East supply disruptions. Leverage is elevated at 6.1x due to cyclically depressed EBITDA, but liquidity is solid with a new $800M revolver and $369M cash. I expect at least $100M free cash flow in 2024, with a $22 price target over 2-3 years as mid-cycle cash flow approaches $300M. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Huntsman: Bouncing Along The Bottom
Summary Huntsman faces significant headwinds from weak Chinese construction activity and high European natural gas costs, impacting profit margins and overall performance. Despite some cost-cutting successes, Huntsman's financial outlook remains challenged by high-interest rates, structural issues in China, and macroeconomic uncertainties. The company’s 6% dividend is secure but not compelling enough for a buy, with shares likely to stay rangebound between $15-18. I recommend holding Huntsman shares, as a substantial upturn is unlikely in the near term, with the focus on debt reduction over the next two or more years.
