Read MoreHide Full Article
Olin Corporation (OLN - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2021 results after market close on Jul 27. The company’s productivity actions and strong performance in its Winchester business are likely to get reflected in its second-quarter results. Benefits associated with cost savings and price hikes are likely to have supported the bottom line. However, it is likely to have faced headwinds stemming from higher maintenance costs and sluggish demand across certain key markets.
The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the last four quarters, while missing the same twice. It has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of roughly 12.8%, on average. The company reported an earnings surprise of 14.2% in the last reported quarter.
Olin’s shares have surged 271.4% in the past year compared with 30.8% rise of the industry.

Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Winchester segment’s net sales is currently pegged at $400 million that suggests a 107.3% rise from the year-ago quarter’s level. The same for the Epoxy division is pegged at $636 million, which suggests a 60.2% year-over-year increase.
Factors at Play in Q2
Olin’s Chemicals businesses are expected to have benefited from price hikes for chlorine, epichlorohydrin, epoxy resins, bleach, ethylene dichloride, caustic soda and chlorinated organics in the second quarter.
Moreover, the company is likely to have gained from strong performance of its Winchester business on the back of the Lake City U.S. Army ammunition contract. The multi-year contract is expected to have boosted sales and profitability in the second quarter.
The company is also likely to have benefited from improvement of cost structure and efficiency in the second quarter. Productivity actions are also expected to positively contribute to second-quarter results. The company expects productivity measures like plant closures as well as raw materials and railcar management to deliver $50-$100 million of net savings in 2021.
However, the company is expected to have faced headwinds from muted demand across certain key markets. Volumes are likely to have been impacted in the second quarter due to non-participation in certain markets. Higher maintenance costs and unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs are expected to have dented margins.
Here are some other companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider as our model shows that they also have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter.
