Braskem SA ( (BAK) ) has issued an announcement.
In the second quarter of 2025, Braskem S.A. faced challenges due to global trade tensions and tariff uncertainties, which led to a decrease in international reference prices for key products like PE, PP, and PVC. Despite these challenges, the company recorded a recurring EBITDA of US$74 million and a net profit of R$431 million in the first half of 2025. The Brazil/South America segment saw stable plant utilization and increased resin sales, while the U.S. and Europe segment faced higher feedstock costs, resulting in a negative recurring EBITDA. In Mexico, Braskem Idesa began its first general maintenance stoppage, affecting ethane supply. The Brazilian chemical industry’s low idleness rate and discussions on competitive parity measures like PRESIQ are seen as crucial for enhancing industry competitiveness.
The most recent analyst rating on (BAK) stock is a Buy with a $8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Braskem SA stock, see the BAK Stock Forecast page.
