Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Huntsman achieve an EPS closer to the consensus estimate of $-0.20 or better?

A smaller loss than expected could indicate improved cost management and operational efficiency, which the market will closely monitor.

What are the revenue figures relative to the expected $1.4 billion?

Revenue performance will be crucial in assessing demand trends and the company's ability to recover in a challenging market.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating Huntsman's ability to manage costs effectively, despite recent losses. Improved operational efficiencies could lead to better-than-expected results.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a significant move, indicating that investors are anticipating potential surprises.

Huntsman's historical performance shows a mixed record, suggesting that the market may be overly pessimistic this quarter.

Key Risk

If the EPS comes in better than $-0.20, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating whether Huntsman can stabilize its earnings and revenue in a tough economic environment.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $-0.14 or better, along with revenue exceeding $1.4 billion, would confirm the bullish case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS worse than $-0.31 and revenue below $1.3 billion would support the bearish outlook.
