Commodities Outlook

We caught up with our Commodity & Intermediate Chemical companies ahead of

2Q reporting. Commodity spot prices/spreads declined substantially from peak in

the weeks leading up to the peace agreement, as fears of significant feedstock and

base-chemical supply disruption generally abated. 2Q beats, even against a higher

bar, are likely to be outweighed by the degree of commodity price/spread

normalization across chains, underlying volumes in 2H26, and ability to convert

FCF in this period of higher earnings. We adjust our estimates broadly downward

to reflect current crude oil and chemical supply environment and weaker outlook

for spreads. We generally see intermediate companies (EMN, CE) as better

positioned to capture volume and price/cost across more diverse specialty

business in 2H26. Top pick across the group is EMN (TP of $85 from $88). Other

TP changes: CE ($68 from $80); DOW ($35 from $41); LYB ($67 from $80); WLK

($85 from $95).
