Revenue

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Avient's EPS exceed the consensus estimate of $0.89?

A beat on EPS would reinforce the company's ability to manage costs and drive profitability, which is crucial for investor sentiment.

What guidance will management provide regarding revenue growth?

Clear guidance on revenue growth will help investors gauge the company's market position and future prospects.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Avient's ability to leverage its innovative products in a recovering economy, leading to stronger-than-expected demand.

Supporting Evidence

Avient has consistently beaten EPS estimates in recent quarters, indicating a trend of strong performance.

The options market's implied move of 12.82% suggests that traders expect significant volatility, which may not align with the consensus view.

The company's focus on sustainability could attract new business opportunities that are not fully reflected in current estimates.

Key Risk

If revenue growth significantly outpaces expectations, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating Avient's ability to sustain its earnings momentum amidst a competitive landscape.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.90 or higher, coupled with revenue exceeding $910M, would confirm strong operational performance.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $0.89 or revenue falling short of $887M would indicate potential challenges ahead.
