Huntsman is also expected to have gained from the contributions of the acquisitions in the to-be-reported quarter. Benefits of CVC Thermoset Specialties and Gabriel acquisitions are expected to get reflected on the Advanced Materials unit.
The company is likely to have faced headwinds from pressure on automotive volumes in the fourth quarter due to the impact of a semiconductor shortage. The company is expected to have been impacted by higher raw material costs led by supply disruptions. The unfavorable impacts from higher costs of raw materials and logistics challenges are expected to get reflected in the quarterly performance.
Here are some companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider, as our model shows that these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
