TheStreet Quant Ratings
rates Eastman Chemical as a
. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, attractive valuation levels and notable return on equity. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
EASTMAN CHEMICAL CO has improved earnings per share by 48.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, EASTMAN CHEMICAL CO increased its bottom line by earning $5.66 versus $4.94 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($6.97 versus $5.66).
The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Chemicals industry. The net income increased by 46.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $171.00 million to $251.00 million.
The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. In comparison to other companies in the Chemicals industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, EASTMAN CHEMICAL CO has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has greatly exceeded that of the S&P 500.
EMN, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 5.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 8.5%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
