UPDATE: KeyBanc Downgrades Huntsman (HUN) to Sector Weight

(Updated - March 21, 2022 6:23 AM EDT)

KeyBanc analyst Aleksey Yefremov downgraded Huntsman (NYSE: HUN) from Overweight to Sector Weight.

The analyst comments "Following three consecutive quarterly beats and the stock's outperformance, we are moving HUN to Sector Weight given: 1) elevated exposure to EMEA (27% of sales and 40% of HUN's MDI capacity), including Russia/Ukraine ($150M / 1.6%); 2) rising raw materials putting PU and AM margins at risk, at least in the NT; 3) more modest auto recovery in '22 (IHS recently revised global auto builds down by 3%); 4) Construction and MDI markets remain weak in China; 5) Risks to consumer durables demand given accelerating inflation and lagging real incomes."
