What the Analysts think about Eastman Chemical
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Eastman Chemical stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Eastman Chemical stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Eastman’s second-quarter rebound was broad enough to support a better near-term earnings outlook: sales rose 10% year on year, adjusted EPS rose to $1.97 from $1.60, and the adjusted EBIT margin improved by 350 basis points sequentially. Management expects third-quarter adjusted EPS to be around the same level and says 2026 earnings should significantly exceed 2025. (Eastman Chemical)
Pricing discipline and a cost programme targeting $125 million to $150 million of savings could provide support even if demand stays uneven. Eastman also plans about $400 million of 2026 capital expenditure, which limits the cash burden of pursuing growth projects. (Eastman Chemical, MNI)
The circular-products platform is gaining commercial traction: first-half revenue more than doubled, Renew revenue exceeded $100 million, and PepsiCo is now using Eastman’s recycled PET in Gatorade bottles. Kingsport’s plant is operating reliably and could be debottlenecked, giving Eastman a route to grow this higher-margin platform without immediately committing to a second large facility. (Resource Recycling, PepsiCo)
Some of the second-quarter profit improvement may not be repeatable: Chemical Intermediates benefited from supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict, and Eastman expects that segment’s earnings to decline modestly as those effects fade. Management also sees no recovery in weak discretionary markets such as automotive and consumer durables. (Eastman Chemical, Longbridge)
Cash conversion and leverage remain pressure points. Eastman reduced its 2026 operating-cash-flow outlook to about $900 million, while first-half cash from operations was only $87 million; borrowings were $5.217 billion at June-end and net leverage was reported at roughly 3.3 times. (StockTitan, MNI)
The larger circular-growth story is taking longer and may require more capital than first planned. Eastman’s proposed Texas facility lost a $375 million federal grant and remains under review, while weak economic conditions have made customer adoption of Renew products slower and pushed the next major capital commitment towards 2028.
