Why now
Chemicals · market cap $1.5b. Down 49% from 52-week high of $16.09 — deep drawdown territory.
Moat
Turnaround / out-of-favor name — GAAP-unprofitable for now, so the durability case is forward-looking: it rests on a recovery (margin normalization, a cyclical upturn or restructuring) or an un-monetized asset (IP / network effects / first-mover position) rather than on current reported results.
Risk
Free cash flow is negative (-$9m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Currently unprofitable (margin -3.0%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $10.99 (structural (no analyst coverage)) — catalyst-driven; binary events dominate. 5 yr $19.22 — requires the platform / technology to reach commercial scale. 10 yr $34.35 — return distribution heavily skewed.

Huntsman Corp (HUN): score, valuation & FAQ

Huntsman Corp (HUN) is a Chemicals company that scores 25.5 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a weak reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/S (A), while FCF (F) rate weaker.

Is HUN a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores HUN 25.5 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a weak reading. That is driven by P/S (A). A score is a quantitative screen of Huntsman Corp's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does HUN score 25.5 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on quality at 35.0 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 19.2 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. HUN earns its highest marks on P/S (A), and is held back by FCF (F). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so HUN is measured against Chemicals peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is HUN overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for HUN — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in HUN?

Free cash flow is negative (-$9m) — capital raises or debt issuance likely required; dilution / leverage risk. Currently unprofitable (margin -3.0%) — path to GAAP profitability is the core thesis risk. Down 49% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
