Evercore ISI took over coverage of Eastman Chemical (EMN) with an In Line rating and $118 price target as well as 10 other chemical names. Dissonance between sputtering industrial demand into year-end and prospects for a “less bad” 2025 has “muddled the forward outlook for chemicals investors” and the firm’s sense is further EBITDA and EPS cuts coming to Q1 and FY25 “are needed to clear the deck,” the analyst says. However, Evercore suspects the stocks “move sharply higher with signs of improving demand, so begin to position accordingly,” the analyst added.
