Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Dividend announcement and recent earnings put Huntsman in focus

Huntsman (HUN) is back on investor radars after its board declared a US$0.0875 per share cash dividend and released third quarter results that showed higher sales alongside a smaller net loss.

Recent price action reflects that narrative. Huntsman shares have climbed strongly over the past month, with a 30 day share price return of 21.19% from a starting point that leaves the year to date move still down 4.02%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 18.86% contrasts with a much weaker 3 and 5 year total shareholder performance. As a result, momentum appears more like a short term rebuild in confidence rather than a full trend change.

The question now is whether Huntsman’s recent rebound reflects improving business fundamentals after smaller losses and steadier dividends, or whether sentiment has simply swung too far ahead of what the valuation supports.

Most Popular Narrative: 6.9% Undervalued

On the latest numbers, Huntsman closed at $9.78, while the analyst consensus Narrative on Simply Wall St puts fair value at $10.50 using a 9.6% discount rate. That gap frames a modest undervaluation story rather than a deep value case.
