C-MACC Sunday Thematic & Weekly Recap 101
Be-Laboring The Point Of Worker Shortages
- The US faces short- and long-term labor challenges, an issue that is prevalent in other regions and globally ranks behind only COVID and inflation in CEO worries.
- Short-term worker shortages may continue while Omicron spreads, and Sherwin Williams will unlikely be alone seeing a negative impact on near-term results.
- A structural lack of labor could thwart long-term manufacturing/construction ambitions; costs will rise to attract skilled workers from early retirement/childcare.
- We discuss strength in construction chemicals despite the concerns above and question why Huntsman is being bothered by an activist when things look good.
- Otherwise, we highlight some more energy issues and look at inventories.
Last week we discussed 30 Chemicals and related products and 126 Companies.
