|% Change Since: -14.90%
|Next Earnings Date:Feb 18, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with significant efforts in cost reduction and potential improvements in North American housing and Asian markets providing optimism. However, challenges persist with pricing pressures in the MDI sector, regulatory hurdles in Europe, and seasonal volume declines impacting overall performance. The impact of the Boeing strike also presents a near-term headwind.Company Guidance
In the Huntsman Corporation's Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance that highlighted several key metrics and areas of focus. The company reported that its adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow were discussed, with reconciliations available on their website. Peter Huntsman, the CEO, emphasized the impact of improvements in North American housing and construction on earnings, noting a hopeful outlook due to falling interest rates and potential rate cuts. He also mentioned that the company is initiating a $50 million cost reduction program in its global Polyurethanes business, in addition to the $280 million already reduced in prior years. The CEO expressed disappointment in the traction of recent Q4 MDI price increases but observed a return to more traditional MDI growth rates. Additionally, the company is keenly observing the market for global chemical assets, particularly in Europe, and expects potential consolidation due to regulatory and cost challenges. The call also detailed the impact of the Boeing strike, estimating a few million dollars in costs for Q4, and highlighted growth opportunities in the EV battery sector and energy efficiency markets. For 2025, the company anticipates gradual improvement driven by lower interest rates, pent-up housing demand, and geopolitical stability.Cost Reduction Program Initiatives
