Gekko Brief
AI summaryOct 12 closeHuntsman's week was shaped by Wells Fargo cutting its price target on the stock to $9.00 from $11.00 on 6 October, citing challenging MDI margins and weak construction demand, while keeping an "Equal Weight" rating; the firm still expects pricing actions to support Polyurethanes and forecasts increased EBITDA for 2026, 2027 and 2028. The company also confirmed it will discuss third-quarter 2026 results on a conference call on 3 November, with the earnings release and slide presentation following the close on 2 November.
Shares closed at $8.07, down 0.9%, sitting below both the 50-day average of $9.43 and the 200-day average of $11.85, with the 50-day below the 200-day. Returns have been negative across the one-month (-15.4%), three-month (-32.2%), six-month (-42.5%) and one-year (-7.3%) periods, with the stock near its 52-week low of $7.30 and well off its $16.09 high. The GekkoIndex reads 69.2, placing it in the Accumulation zone, and price sits 41.8% below the Gekko Fair Value of $13.86.
Over the next 20 trading days, Huntsman reports earnings on 2 November after the close, falling inside that window; the prior quarter saw an 18.4% reaction after missing estimates.

Last earnings call, Jul 30, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Huntsman reported Q2 2026 earnings with improving margins quarter-over-quarter, though management remains cautious amid softening North American housing, weak Chinese consumer confidence, and European energy challenges. A major strategic development is the announced merger of equals with Olin Corporation, targeting $300 million in synergies. Management expressed confidence the deal enhances shareholder value regardless of market conditions, with integration teams ready to execute on day one of closing.
- Guidance
- Management expects market turbulence to continue through Q3 2026. The Olin merger is expected to generate $300 million in synergies plus additional commercial opportunities not included in synergy targets, with a strengthening balance sheet anticipated post-close.
