CORRECTION: Cabot Sees FY2026 Adj EPS $6.00-$7.00 vs $7.23 Est

Outlook

Commenting on the outlook for the Company, Keohane said, "Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, we do not yet see signs of improvement in the external environment, particularly as it relates to regional demand trends in Reinforcement Materials due to the impact of elevated Asian tire imports into western regions.  As a result, we expect Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $6.00 to $7.00 for the year. Our fiscal 2026 outlook reflects the uncertain macroeconomic and trade environment and competitive headwinds in Reinforcement Materials. In Performance Chemicals, we expect to see profit improvement overall, driven by attractive areas such as Battery Materials and targeted infrastructure, alternative energy, and consumer applications. We anticipate strong operating cash flow and discretionary free cash flow to support growth investments."
