Coming into today, shares of the chemical company had lost 1.51% in the past month. In that same time, the Basic Materials sector gained 6.25%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.96%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from CC as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be November 4, 2021. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.97, up 106.38% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $1.64 billion, up 32.87% from the year-ago period.

Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for CC. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.36% higher within the past month. CC is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

It is also worth noting that CC currently has a PEG ratio of 0.27. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Chemical - Diversified industry currently had an average PEG ratio of 1.16 as of yesterday's close.
The Chemical - Diversified industry is part of the Basic Materials sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 150, putting it in the bottom 41% of all 250+ industries.
