​Earlier on October 14, Arun Viswanathan from RBC Capital reduced the price target on the stock from $92 to $87, while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock. The analyst noted that the reduced price target reflects the firm’s preview of Q3 earnings in the chemicals sector. He highlighted that discussions with the investor relations teams reveal that the demand remained tepid throughout Q3.

​In addition, the building and construction activity has also remained muted. He noted that while the rate cuts could help the sector, however, a weaker job market remains a headwind for the industry, and demand for consumer durables is yet to see some substantial recovery.
