Eastman Chemical (EMN) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eastman Chemical Company (EMN - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter 2023 results after the closing bell on Apr 27.
The company surpassed Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the last four quarters while missing it twice. It delivered a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of around 5.5% on average. It posted a negative earnings surprise of 29.4% in the last reported quarter.
Eastman is expected to have benefited from its cost-cutting and productivity measures, as well as its growth model, driven by innovation, despite facing challenges such as increased costs of raw materials, energy and logistics. The company is also likely to have faced headwinds from consumer de-stocking and unfavorable currency fluctuations.
The stock has plunged 25.7% in the past year compared with the industry’s fall of 4.5%.

What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales for the to-be-reported quarter is currently pegged at $2,369 million, which implies a decline of 13% from the year-ago reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EMN’s Additives and Functional Products division’s revenues is pegged at $717 million, suggesting a decline of 11% year over year. The consensus estimate for the Advanced Materials unit’s revenues is $726 million, indicating a decrease of 1.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Eastman’s Chemical Intermediaries segment’s revenues is pegged at $566 million, suggesting a decline of 29.2%. The same for Fiber Segment stands at $273 million, indicating an increase of 28.2% year over year.
Some Factors to Note
Eastman Chemical’s first-quarter results will likely reflect growing new business revenues from its innovative growth model. Its performance for the first quarter is also expected to have benefited from its efforts to control costs, particularly from its operational transformation program. Also, the company’s inorganic growth strategies are likely to have contributed to its performance in the quarter to be reported.
However, a stronger U.S. dollar might have put a dent in the company’s performance in the first quarter. Higher input costs and higher seasonal energy costs are likely to get reflected in EMN’s results. Lingering impacts from customer inventory de-stocking, particularly in consumer durables, building & construction markets, are also expected to have weighed on the company’s performance in the first quarter.
Here are some other companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider, as our model shows these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings for IAG for the first quarter is pegged at a loss of 4 cents.
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX - Free Report) , scheduled to release earnings on Apr 21, has an Earnings ESP of +4.19% and carries a Zacks Rank #3.
