The latest update is out from Trinseo ( (TSE) ).

On January 6, 2026, Trinseo’s board compensation committee approved one-time conditional retention bonus awards for its named executive officers, totaling millions of dollars and ranging from $1 million to $3.2 million, which were paid on or about January 8, 2026. The awards are structured as advances that must be repaid if an executive leaves before March 31, 2027, absent a qualifying termination, and are given in exchange for forfeiting participation in certain 2025 bonus opportunities, cancelling existing and future long-term incentive awards and 2026 retention payments, and waiving the right to resign for good reason under existing contracts, effectively rebalancing the executives’ compensation mix to prioritize near-term retention during a turbulent period for the company and its industry.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE) stock is a Hold with a $0.78 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Trinseo stock, see the TSE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (losses, compressed margins, and a highly concerning balance sheet with negative equity) and a generally bearish longer-term technical trend. Valuation is only moderately supportive due to the high dividend yield, but negative earnings limit its benefit. Earnings call guidance points to near-term EBITDA and free-cash-flow improvement, yet corporate-event risks (NYSE non-compliance/delisting risk and restructuring execution) keep the overall profile cautious.
