I look for businesses with durable advantages and balance sheets that let them survive downturns. Huntsman makes diversified organic chemicals—polyurethanes, amines and advanced materials—so it is tied to industrial cycles rather than a consumer franchise. Scale and customer qualification can be a modest moat, but commodity chemistry rarely gives pricing power like a branded product. Financial health is the problem. In fiscal 2025 (the year ended 2025-12-31), revenue was $5.7B, net income was $-284.0M, and diluted EPS was $-1.65; fiscal 2024 also lost $189.0M, or $-1.10 per share, after fiscal 2023 earned $101.0M, or $0.57. Trailing free cash flow was $-9.0M, a -0.6% FCF yield, and the FairStock-calculated Altman Z-Score is 0.87, which signals stress. Debt-to-equity is 0.85. Valuation is where Graham might get interested. At the 2026-10-13 close of $8.16, the FairStock P/B is 0.53 and P/E is -8.33 because earnings are negative. The dividend yield is 3.85%, but a loss-making company must fund that from cash or asset sales. FairStock's Piotroski F-Score is 5/9 and its score is 51/100. The Lynch category is TURNAROUND—loss in the latest year after earlier profits. Revenue growth of 14.06% and profit growth of 96.20% in the provided data hint at improvement, but the latest filed quarterly loss in fiscal Q1 2026 (quarter ended 2026-03-31) was $-53.0M, so the recovery is unproven. Cheap assets can be a trap if the cycle does not turn.

In plain English: Huntsman makes organic chemicals used in many industrial products, including polyurethanes and performance materials. The business is currently weak: it lost money in fiscal 2025, has negative free cash flow, and carries meaningful debt. The stock price looks low compared with the accounting value of its assets, but that discount may reflect real troubles rather than a bargain.
