Huntsman (HUN) Could Be 23% Undervalued Following Recent Share Price Weakness

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Huntsman (HUN) has drawn attention after recent share price weakness, with the stock closing at $9.09. Investors are reassessing the chemical producer as returns over the past month and past three months have declined.

Recent trading has extended that weaker tone, with Huntsman’s share price return down 4.7% over the past week, 10.7% over the past month, and 24.7% over the past quarter. The 3 year total shareholder return is lower by 56.6%, signalling fading momentum and a cautious reset of growth and risk expectations.

Huntsman still runs a broad chemicals platform across polyurethanes, performance products, and advanced materials, yet the share price reset leaves a different question: Are you paying a fair price for that footprint today?

Most Popular Narrative: 23% Undervalued

Against a last close of $9.09, the most followed Huntsman narrative pegs fair value at about $11.82. This frames today’s reset as a valuation question rather than just a sentiment swing.

Demand for Huntsman's advanced materials and polyurethane-based products is expected to benefit from accelerating global trends in sustainability, energy efficiency, and lightweighting, especially as infrastructure and construction activity resumes, and the EV/clean tech markets expand. This supports potential for higher long-term revenue growth and greater market share.

Result: Fair Value of $11.82 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, Huntsman faces clear pressure from prolonged global polyurethane overcapacity and high European production costs. Either factor could undercut the upbeat valuation story.
