Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Eastman Chemical’s third-quarter revenues is currently pinned at $2,638 million, which indicates a 24.3% year-over-year increase.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Eastman Chemical’s Additives and Functional Products division revenues is pegged at $911 million, suggesting a 22.8% increase year over year. The consensus estimate for Advanced Materials unit’s revenues is at $779 million, indicating an increase of 16.6% year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Chemical Intermediates segment’s revenues is at $730 million, which indicates a 44.3% rise from the year-ago quarter’s levels. The same for the Fibers segment is pegged at $214 million, suggesting a 3.9% year-over-year increase.
Factors to Watch For
Benefits of cost actions are likely to get reflected in the company’s third-quarter performance. Eastman reduced costs by around $150 million in 2020. These initiatives are likely to have contributed to earnings per share in the September quarter. The company might have benefited from lower operating costs from its operational transformation program in the third quarter.
The company is also expected to have gained from generating new business revenues from innovation. The company expects $600 million of new business revenues from innovation in 2021. Eastman Chemical is likely to have benefited from strategic acquisitions and end-market recovery.
However, Eastman Chemical is likely to have faced headwinds from higher raw material, energy, and distribution costs in some of its products. Headwinds associated with supply and logistics are likely to have impacted third-quarter performance.
The slowdown in automotive production due to the semiconductor shortage is likely to have affected the company in the quarter to be reported. The chip shortage is expected to have affected demand in the automotive market in the third quarter.
