UBS Downgrades Celanese (CE) PT to $48, Maintains Neutral Rating

Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE) is one of the best value stocks to invest in now. On October 6, UBS lowered the firm’s price target on Celanese to $48 from $49, while keeping a Neutral rating on the shares. This announcement was made ahead of the company’s Q3 2025 earnings report.

In Q2 2025, the company made $311 million in free cash flow, which represents an 80% increase year-over-year for H1 2025. However, Celanese Corporation saw its sales decline slightly in Q2 by 4.49% year-over-year to a total of $2.53 billion. Still, the EPS of $1.44 beat Street estimates by $0.04. The company is now focused on achieving a $2 per share quarterly EPS run rate through controllable actions.

For instance, the Celanese Corporation CFO, Scott Richardson, stated that the company is headed towards the $2 target by focusing on cost structure improvements and differentiated business models. This includes inventory movement, cost actions, and price opportunities in Engineered Materials.

Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE) is a chemical and specialty materials company that manufactures and sells engineered polymers worldwide.
