What matters next is how one shift in product mix and customer demand shapes the durability of those margins over time.

Those margin questions are exactly what the full narrative for Privi Speciality Chemicals unpacks, showing where Privi Speciality Chemicals could see earnings power accelerate or stall as the cycle turns.
