• Aleksey Yefremov from KeyBanc recently announced a new price target of $70 for Celanese Corporation CE, suggesting a potential upside of 69.82%.
• The company exceeded Wall Street expectations with an adjusted EPS of $1.44 and revenues of $2.53 billion.
• However, Celanese’s share price plunged 14.6% after revealing a weaker-than-expected third-quarter forecast.

Celanese Corporation, an influential global chemical manufacturer, specializes in a variety of products, including acetyl products and engineered materials. The company’s recent earnings report showed its ability to surpass analyst expectations. However, the market responded negatively to a cautious profit outlook.

While the strong second-quarter performance is commendable, ongoing challenges in demand across various markets overshadow this achievement. Investors should remain vigilant as industry conditions evolve.
