Eastman Chemical sees Q2 adjusted EPS $1.70-$1.90

Commenting on the outlook for full-year 2026, Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO said: “Looking specifically at the sequential second-quarter outlook, we expect tailwinds from improved sales volume/mix in Advanced Materials and, to a lesser extent, Additives & Functional Products, as well as substantial spread improvement in Chemical Intermediates. We expect specialty price increases to keep pace with higher raw material and distribution costs through the quarter. Headwinds include approximately $45 million of costs from planned maintenance. When putting these factors together, we project second-quarter adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.70 to $1.90.”
