What it does

Plain-English summary of the business — what they sell and how they make money.

Huntsman Corporation operates as a global producer and marketer of specialized organic chemical compounds. Its operations are structured across four distinct business divisions: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, and Textile Effects. The Polyurethanes division supplies a range of polyurethane-based chemicals, such as methyl diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), polyols, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), propylene oxide, and methyl tertiary-butyl ether. Within Performance Products, the company produces a variety of amines and maleic anhydrides, alongside other key chemicals like ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, glycols, ethylene dichloride, caustic soda, ammonia, hydrogen, methylamines, and acrylonitrile. The Advanced Materials segment focuses on advanced polymer solutions. This includes formulations based on epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, and acrylonitrile-butadiene, as well as high-performance thermoset resins, curing and toughening agents, carbon nanotube additives, and fundamental liquid and solid resins. Finally, the Textile Effects division delivers specialized chemicals and dyes for the textile industry. Huntsman's diverse product portfolio finds extensive application across numerous industries. These span from adhesives, aerospace components, and automotive manufacturing to various construction materials, consumer goods (both durable and non-durable), electronics, insulation, and medical devices. Additionally, their chemicals are vital in packaging, coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fibers, and the textile and dye sectors. Established in 1970, Huntsman Corporation maintains its corporate headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
-6.1How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
-1.6%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
-0.9%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
6.7%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
0.4Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
-11.8%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
12.9%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.9Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
