What Do the Estimates Say?

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter consolidated revenues for AdvanSix is currently pegged at $408.1 million, which calls for a rise of around 44.8% year over year.

Some Factors at Play

The company is expected to have benefited from improved end-market demand and growth of its differentiated products in the quarter to be reported. It is seeing a recovery in demand across a number of markets including automotive, building & construction, electronics and packaging as well as strong agricultural industry fundamentals. Favorable market conditions and tight industry supply are likely to have supported demand for nylon in North America. Strong demand for chemical intermediates is also likely to have continued across a number of markets in the third quarter.

Higher demand for its product lines is expected to have supported its volumes in the September quarter. Higher prices are also expected to have driven its top line. However, the company is likely to have faced headwinds from higher raw material costs in the third quarter.
