Celanese (CE) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Celanese (CE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Celanese's strong performance is highlighted by its resilient margins of 14.8% amidst challenges, as well as the potential for EBITDA to reach approximately $2.5 billion with a macroeconomic recovery that improves demand in key sectors like automotive and electronics. Additionally, the company's strategic initiatives, including a favorable product mix and specialty pricing, have contributed to a significant quarter-over-quarter volume increase of 9% in European auto sales, further enhancing its profitability outlook. With a projected higher valuation multiple of 7.5x, Celanese demonstrates a robust growth trajectory supported by increased productivity and efficient operations.
Bears say
Celanese's recent financial performance showed that while its EM EBITDA of $326 million exceeded expectations, sales fell by 2% year-over-year, indicating persistent revenue challenges. Additionally, there has been a significant decline in demand for non-tow acetyl products in the traditionally strong Western Hemisphere, reaching the lowest levels in nearly 20 years. Lastly, ongoing weaknesses in end markets, particularly in China, European automotive sectors, and US Acetic demand, suggest a difficult outlook for earnings growth despite potential cost reductions.
