Celanese price target raised to $55 from $45 at Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo raised the firm’s price target on Celanese (CE) to $55 from $45 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Given a weak start to 2026, a much stronger second half of 2026 is needed to generate year-over-year EPS growth, the firm says. As a result, Wells remains on the sidelines as the stock has had a run up 30% year-to-date.
