Hold Please: Macro Distractions Curb Many Strategic Initiatives
- Heightened macro uncertainty typically pushes corporate focus to immediate issues and shifts many strategic plans – this is the case today.
- Uncertain demand, higher financing costs, and pinched profitability for many in the manufacturing sectors could pause many “nice to have”.
- New product trials, possible business collaborations, and some energy transition projects not driven by mandates – are a few examples of where priorities change.
- We focus on where investment will continue – renewable power, some (limited) reshoring, LNG, and energy transition projects tied to well-publicized promises.
- Otherwise, we discuss falling polymer profitability in the US, possible European shutdowns, why inflation could worsen, and the ethanol market.
Last week we discussed 32 Chemicals and related products and 125 Companies.
