Analysis
Eastman Chemical Company (EMN) currently trades at $73.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $61.48, implying the stock looks roughly 16.4% overvalued today. We read business quality at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Eastman Chemical Company generated revenue of $8.6B at a net margin of 4.6%. Revenue declined 4.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.6%. Net debt stands at $4.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $50.49 (bear case) to $89.09 (bull case); at $73.50, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 11% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -16%, EMN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($74.05) versus Growth DCF ($16.75). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
