American Chemical Company Sees Recovery

One year after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, people saw the dawn of economic recovery. Most American chemical companies are expected to produce better-than-expected third-quarter results, but some chemical companies are still struggling at the bottom of earnings.
According to the third-quarter performance data released by Cytec Industries, a US-based chemical manufacturer, the company’s net profit was US$ 12.5 million in the quarter, although it was not comparable to the net profit of US$ 46.3 million in the same period of last year, but it was the second year this year. The quarterly loss of $25 million has changed considerably. Shane Fleming, CEO of Cytec Industries, stated that the company’s sales growth in the third quarter relative to the second quarter showed positive factors in the current re-stocking of the specialty chemicals market.

The Lubrizol Corporation recently raised its profit forecast for the full year.
Deutsche Bank raised the third quarter and full year profit targets for Cytec Industries, Dow Chemical, Lubrizol and PPG Industries. The continued growth of product sales, lower operating costs, stable product sales prices, and stable raw material costs are the main reasons for Deutsche Bank to increase the profit forecast of these companies.
"We believe that the chemical business has bottomed out in the first half of this year, and the current market demand has begun to recover. At the same time, the cost of chemical companies, including fixed costs and input costs, has dropped, so we are profitable," said Kris Shaw, chemical analyst at Ticonderoga Securities in New York. There will be a quick rebound."
However, some fertilizer companies have not yet shaken off the shadow of sluggish demand.

Analysts expect the company's third-quarter earnings per share to be 80 cents, compared with the company's earnings per share of $2.31 for the same period last year.
Catalyst giant Yabao expects third-quarter earnings per share to fall by 9 cents/share from its forecast.
