Dow – The Path To Private – A Viable Option For The Unloved?

  • Chemical sector valuations face downward pressure from macro uncertainty and ESG concerns, frustrating for many feeling undervalued. We discuss options.
  • High sector free cash flow conversion enables the buyback of stock, a good risk-adjusted option relative to growth investment for those with a low cost of debt.
  • Companies with competitive decarbonization paths make good take-private targets, as valuations should jump for the best once ESG measures normalize.
  • We also discuss the critical need for both an agriculture and energy policy in the US if we are to support both the LNG industry and the renewable fuels industry.
  • Otherwise, we look at polyethylene prices in the US, more inflationary indicators, and transport bottlenecks that continue to cause problems.  

Last week we discussed 29 Chemicals and related products and 156 Companies.
