UBS analyst Joshua Spector has adjusted the price target for Huntsman (HUN) from $11 to $10, maintaining a Neutral rating. The decrease reflects concerns over Huntsman's balance sheet, with seasonal improvements appearing unlikely. The company's financial health is mixed, with revenue growth of 1.8% over the past year and a negative net margin of -2.63%.
Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) reported its second quarter 2025 financial results, showing a net loss of $158 million compared to net income of $22 million in the prior year period. The diluted loss per share was $0.92, down from $0.13 in the prior year. The company also reported an adjusted net loss of $34 million, a decrease from adjusted net income of $24 million in the prior year [1].Revenue for the second quarter 2025 was $1,458 million, down from $1,574 million in the prior year period. The company attributed the revenue decline to lower global construction and industrial activity, which pressured its volumes. The seasonal uplift in construction demand typically experienced in the second quarter was muted in 2025 [1].
Huntsman's adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2025 was $74 million, down from $131 million in the prior year period. The company also reported a net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $92 million, and free cash flow from continuing operations of $55 million, up from $5 million in the prior year period [1].
