Huntsman Co.

Huntsman cut its quarterly dividend ~65% and still faces eight consecutive quarters of negative EPS through Q1 2026. 2025 free cash flow was $116 million versus $146 million in dividend payouts, and Q1 2026 operating cash flow was negative $53 million, while net debt has risen. The smaller payout depends on a chemicals recovery that has not yet materialized, leaving the dividend vulnerable to further reductions. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com

Huntsman’s stock climbed to $15.88, marking a new 52-week high after rising 51.84% year-to-date. For Q1 2026 Huntsman reported earnings per share of -$0.20 (met expectations) and revenue of $1.42 billion (beat expectations). The company completed the sale of its Italian automotive unit Gomet to Trelleborg for about $50 million. InvestingPro analyses see the stock close to its fair value and rate the financial position as “satisfactory.” » Plus sur de.investing.com

Huntsman reported slightly higher revenue in Q1 2026 at $1.42 billion with adjusted EBITDA nearly flat at $73 million, while net loss widened to $53 million. The company exceeded its cost-cutting target with annualized savings of about $110 million, sharply cut the dividend and improved free cash flow. Net leverage, however, rose from 4.0x to 6.1x, prompting credit-rating downgrades; liquidity fell to $867 million. Huntsman expects much higher adjusted EBITDA in Q2 of $100–130 million and is relying on price adjustments and further efficiency measures, but sees risks from raw material prices and geopolitical disruptions. » Plus sur de.investing.com
