On March 12, Citi raised its price recommendation on Eastman Chemical Company (NYSE:EMN) to $84 from $78. It reiterated a Buy rating on the shares.

During the Q4 2025 earnings call, the company said it expects a meaningful improvement in earnings in 2026. Chairman and CEO Mark Costa indicated that earnings could reach the upper end of expectations. He noted that a figure around $6 per share falls within the range the company sees as achievable.
