Research notes
Eastman Chemical’s bull case is improving earnings momentum: Q3 revenue rose 8% year over year to $2.39 billion, EPS increased to $1.84 from $1.14, and management maintained FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.00–$6.20. The bear case centers on weaker demand and squeezed commodity-chemical spreads; JPMorgan estimates deteriorating feedstock spreads could reduce annual EBITDA by roughly $145 million, while consensus sentiment remains Hold and Zacks rates the stock Strong Sell. The major recent catalyst was the October 29 Q3 report: results showed substantial year-over-year improvement but missed EPS and revenue estimates, with pricing and utilization gains partly offset by soft demand and conflict-related costs.
