HUN on sale today on earnings warning, started a position with 1000 shares at $9.95

3 years of gains gone in less then 2 months!!!!!! and management does not seem interested!!!!!

Not much support in this company, management is inept (IMO)and the stock price has been tanking! Wondering if we see a low of $10.00/share within the next few months.

Curious to see who sold out about 10 min after opening? Insiders? This company is run by banchies!

2 years of gains in less then a month! The market is rigged!

Nothing new to add, agree with you that it has potential.

I have been a shareholder for 5 years now. A good solid company with good management. I find it frustrating that a years worth of gains are gone in 3 days. All I can offer is too follow what the big funds are doing.

Probably big hedge funds dumping to drive down the price so that they can pick up cheap shares in the new year. The stock market is so corrupt! One day analysts are pumping a stock up and the next day they are downgrading!

Any info on this HUN?





IMO, I think it is a solid company and did some services for them recently:)

HUN = Huntsman International! Wow, what a dip.


Any thoughts from anyone on this?


Please advise...

Thank You!


Eagle1

TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huntsman reports higher eps then forecasted and the stock sinks! Who's in control of the market? Hedge funds? Who it is, is rigging the market!

Huntsman reports good # and premarket we are down!

Rigged is an understatement...lol

Too much artificial support by the feds imo.

Back to 20.00 very soon. 2 years to get to $29 and three weeks to fall to $20. The stock market is rigged!

My prediction came through, just 8 months late...lol

lol, at least we're moving in the right direction.

Not quite but a good guess, if you said by the end of the year?

Hard to believe that one months of gains are gone in two days. This stock market is so corrupt!

That would be nice.

Look for them to increase the dividend next quarter.

Gl

Same here

hope so...

steady horse, worth the dividend.

gl

$20 really soon, then $25 by end of summer imo.

Agreed, still heading North IMO.

great dividend buy and solid 3 months!


gl

Dow is down, and HUN is up.....go figure!


gl

Dow's up and Hun's down. This stock is disconnected from the overall market.

Bought heavy under $14 for the dividend and long term value.

Great investment and $20 should be a breeze

Gl

Heading back to the $20 range, time to load up.

anything under $15 is a deal with the current quarterly dividend pay outs.

the future is bright.

accumulate while you can.


gl

On Watch!

better quarter ahead!

gl

And the pps hardly moves. Last summer they miss by 1 penny and the stcck drops like $5.00. Doesn't make sense!

UPDATE 3-Huntsman profit nearly triples on rising demand

Tue May 1, 2012 8:13am EDT

* Adj EPS 74 cents vs Street forecast 40 cents

* Revenue rose 9 percent to $2.91 bln; beats Street view

* CEO "optimistic about earnings potential"

* Shares rise nearly 9 percent in premarket trading

By Ernest Scheyder

May 1 (Reuters) - Huntsman Corp's quarterly profit beat Wall Street's expectations as the company benefited from higher prices for chemicals used in insulation and paint, and its stock rose nearly 9 percent in premarket trading.

The results show that demand is beginning to pick up in key markets Huntsman serves, including clothing, housing, construction and auto production.

"Notwithstanding certain economic challenges in various parts of the world, I am most optimistic about our earnings potential," Chief Executive Officer Peter Huntsman said in a statement on Tuesday.

The company posted first-quarter net income of $163 million, or 68 cents per share, compared with $62 million, or 26 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding a loss from discontinued operations and other one-time items, the company earned 74 cents per share.

By that measure, analysts had expected earnings of 40 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Revenue rose 9 percent to $2.91 billion. Analysts, on average, had expected $2.81 billion.


POLYURETHANE STRENGTH

Revenue rose 17 percent to $1.22 billion in the company's biggest unit, polyurethanes, largely due to higher prices and demand for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, also known as MDI.

MDI is commonly used in foam insulation.

Demand was also strong for titanium dioxide, a white paint pigment. Revenue in the company's pigments unit rose 16 percent to $424 million. DuPont rivals Huntsman in the titanium dioxide market.

Demand slipped slightly for Huntsman chemical dyes and specialty chemicals.

Huntsman shares rose 8.6 percent to $15.37 in premarket trading on Tuesday. As of Monday's $14.16 close, the stock had gained about 42 percent so far this year.

Former U.S. Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman Jr., son of the company's founder and brother of its chief executive, joined the board of directors in February.

Segment Analysis for 1Q12 Compared to 1Q11

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased primarily in response to improved demand, while PO/MTBE average selling prices increased primarily in response to improved demand and industry supply constraints. MDI sales volumes increased as a result of improved demand in all regions and across all major markets with the exception of appliances. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased due to strong demand. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins and higher sales volumes.

Performance Products

The increase in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to higher sales volumes partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to the consolidation of our maleic anhydride joint venture with Sasol in Germany, partially offset by lower demand for amines and surfactants. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to the sales mix, competitive market pressure for certain amines and in response to lower raw material costs for certain products. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins and higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower average selling prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to sales mix and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes increased across most regions, primarily due to strong demand in our base resins business in Europe, partially offset by lower demand in the wind energy market in the Asia Pacific region. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins.

Textile Effects

The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to lower average selling prices as sales volumes were essentially unchanged. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies and sales mix. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher manufacturing costs.

Pigments

The increase in revenues in our Pigments division for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to higher average selling prices partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions of the world primarily as a result of higher raw material costs. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower global demand and continued customer destocking, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. The increase in adjusted EBITDA in our Pigments division was primarily due to higher contribution margins.

Corporate, LIFO and Other

Corporate, LIFO and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments and unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses. Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and other increased by $5 million to a loss of $40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $45 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of an $11 million decrease in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($3 million of income in 2012 compared to $8 million of expense in 2011) partially offset by an increase in unallocated foreign currency losses of $5 million ($3 million loss in 2012 compared to $2 million gain in 2011).

Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded income tax expense of $60 million. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately 26%. We expect our long term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30 - 35%. We have tax valuation allowances in countries such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom where our Textile Effects and Pigments businesses have meaningful operations. The increase in profitability from our Pigments business has had a significant impact on reducing our adjusted effective income tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid $13 million in cash for income taxes.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt

As of March 31, 2012, we had $1,109 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,043 million at December 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our primary net working capital increased by $118 million. During this period, we redeemed approximately $86 million of our 7.5% senior subordinated notes due 2015 and repaid all of the approximately $27 million outstanding under our Australia credit facility.

During the first quarter 2012, we successfully completed an amendment of our senior secured credit facilities that increased the capacity of our revolving credit facility to $400 million and extended the maturity of our revolving credit facility and $346 million of our term loan B facility from 2014 to 2017.

On March 14, 2012, Moody's Investors Service upgraded our corporate credit rating to Ba3. On April 26, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services upgraded our corporate credit rating to BB.

Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $81 million. We expect to spend approximately $425 to $450 million on capital expenditures in 2012 which approximates our annual depreciation and amortization.
