Huntsman (HUN) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Huntsman Corporation (HUN - Free Report) is set to release second-quarter 2022 results before market open on Aug 2. The company’s earnings are likely to have benefited from healthy demand and prices for MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) and acquisitions. However, HUN is expected to have faced headwinds from higher raw material costs.
Huntsman beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in all of the last four quarters. The company has a trailing-four quarter earnings surprise of 12.6%, on average. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 19% in the last reported quarter.
Shares of Huntsman are up 11.7% in the past year against an 8% decline of its industry.

Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Huntsman’s second-quarter revenues is currently pinned at $2,323 million, indicating a 14.8% year-over-year increase.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Advanced Materials division’s revenues is pegged at $330 million, suggesting a 10.4% rise year over year.
The consensus estimate for the Performance Products unit’s revenues is pegged at $451 million, indicating an increase of 51.1% year over year.
The consensus estimate for the Polyurethanes’ unit’s revenues is pegged at $1,363 million, indicating an increase of 18% year over year.
The consensus estimate for the Textile Effects division’s revenues is pegged at $201 million, indicating a decline of 3% year over year.
Factors to Watch For
The company is likely to have benefited from healthy demand for MDI, driven by megatrends and material substitution. Higher MDI prices and demand is expected to have supported performance in the core Polyurethanes segment.
Huntsman is also expected to have gained from the contributions of the acquisitions in the to-be-reported quarter. The benefits of CVC Thermoset Specialties and Gabriel acquisitions are expected to get reflected in the Advanced Materials unit.
However, the company is likely to have faced headwinds from higher raw material costs led by supply disruptions. The unfavorable impacts from higher costs of raw materials are likely to get reflected in the June-quarter performance.
The company is also expected to have witnessed some volume pressure in the second quarter due to new restrictions in China following a surge in coronavirus cases in the country.
